Fails WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8. The game board is not copyrighted, so a free image could be made to illustrate how the round is played. Additionally, the game board in this image is already rotated upside down, making it a poor choice to improve the reader's understanding of how the game works, as is required under WP:NFCC#8.

What is the need for another non-free image of the singer just for use in her discography. Discographies on Wikipedia do not allow any non-free media files, and even if they did, could we use the picture that is already being used in the main article? This image page only has a rationale of fair use for the main Laura Branigan article, even though the uploader is only going to be dumb enough to upload another copyrighted image for a music video. I'm guessing that the rationale on this page is for the discography, but I doubt it'll be a valid one 'cause, as I've made it clear before, wiki discogs do not allow non-free pictures. Unless a free alternative of this woman happens to be found or uploaded on Commons, an image of her in the artist discography infobox should not be included.

Keep this one, get rid of the MSWordDOS5.0 image, since this one's displayed file is part of MSWord, whereas the text of the other one is of unknown provenance. This one can be used to illustrate the pre-WYSIWYG Word -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 04:55, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. That file is also up for deletion. None of them satisfy NFCC completely. Both have NFCC#8 problems. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 06:00, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - How does it not significantly increase understanding? Many people have no idea what wordprocessors looked like before WYSIWYG, unless you're old enough to remember DOS before WYSIWYG (or used an Apple II, C-64, CP/M) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 05:42, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Exactly. Many people have no idea, so much so that when they look at this image, they as themselves "what the am I looking at?" The article does not discuss this image. Therefore, it does not significantly increase the understanding of the reader. Result: NFCC#8 fails. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 21:05, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - That's why we have captions. It illustrates what the DOS pre-WYSIWYG wordprocessor looks like, so should be moved to the DOS section, so greatly increases the knowledge of the reader in what it does indeed look like (it does not look like a WYSIWYG wordprocessor) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 05:35, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        The problem with your solution is that it exposes the image to other NFCC failures because you do not seem to take NFCC as a whole into consideration. NFCC is written to ensure the non-free images are used only when they are absolutely needed, e.g. when they reinforce what the article text says in a manner that words alone or another image (especially a free one) cannot convey. In this case, I don't see the DOS paragraph of the article needing any picture and this image displays other copyright-protected contents that are not vital to its purpose. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 11:33, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment The DOS version image is up for deletion due to the presence of probably non-free content (the document depicted) in the image beyond what is necessary, in violation of WP:NFCC#1. RJaguar3 | u | t 16:55, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Hi. This one too. The text it displays is not free, although I forgot to include in my original nomination. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 21:05, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - However, the text of this one is part of the MSWord application package, so it is still a screenshot of just MSWord (these being instructions on how to use MSWord) -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) 05:33, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        And what makes you think it is good excuse? NFCC does not say anything about sanctioning copyright-protected contents when they are part of a whole. In fact, it says "an entire work is not used if a portion will suffice". Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 11:33, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that it violates WP:NFCC#8. In the versions section of the Word article, this image (and others) go a long way to demonstrate how Word has evolved. Therefore, it is definitely contextually significant and helps readers understand changes to Word (and even the feel of Microsoft's popular office suite in general). You could perhaps replace the image with a few paragraphs of text in the Word 2.0 row of the table in that section describing how the program looked and how it differed from the previous version, but I'd argue that having images would be a far cleaner way of getting the information across. If the concern here is that multiple images are used in the article, and traffic overhead due to many requests to images, maybe it'd be better to combine all of those images into one large one? I don't think dropping images of old versions is a good idea. 67.208.183.124 (talk) 19:14, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, when these images were tagged, the Microsoft Word article at that time used 10 nonfree screenshots and 2 logos. That's a gross violation of NFCC#3. Currently there are 8 in use, but I don't see any more than 4 being necessary to fully understand the topic. I would understand keeping File:Microsoft Word on Windows 8.png (the latest version of Word for Windows), File:Microsoft Word for Mac 2011.png (the latest Word for Mac), and perhaps one or two others to show the evolution of the product, so long as the product's evolution is discussed in the article. Using this image in addition is a NFCC#3 violation. – Quadell ^(talk) 14:43, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be acceptable to combine those screenshots into a single larger image? That way, no information would be lost, but only one image would be used to convey the information. 72.83.137.181 (talk) 05:29, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Nope. The NFCC objections would still stand. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 18:25, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I concur; merging several images into one would not reduce the copyright issues. – Quadell ^(talk) 19:03, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Think sreenshot should stay. It is over a decade old and not only does it help with the illustration on evolution of MS Word, but Microsoft in general, and how it evolved its software. Furthermore, it specifically helps in illustrating the way MS Word was displayed not only on Windows 3x, but how it has evolved to what we see on current operating systems, specifically Microsoft's very own Windows. This is not a duplicate picture of the thousands floating on the Internet, but one made for this purpose. I am confident that beyond the hardcore enthusiasts very few people own the software to be able to reproduce this picture today. It is one which should be preserved.
