This media file, which you just uploaded, has been listed for [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F3|speedy deletion]] because you indicated that only non-commercial or educational use of the file is allowed. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact '''not''' the case. [https://lists.wikimedia.org//pipermail/wikien-l/2005-May/023760.html][http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2007-February/027547.html] Please do not upload any more files with this restriction on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the [[Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License]] and the [[Wikipedia:Text of the GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License]], which allows anyone to use it for any purpose. See our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|non-free content guidelines]] for more information.
'''If you ''created'' this media file''' and want it to be kept on Wikipedia, remove this message and replace this with {{tlx|GFDL-self}} to license it under the [[Wikipedia:GFDL]], or {{tlx|cc-by-sa-4.0}} to license it under the [[Wikipedia:Creative Commons]] Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{tlx|PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.
'''If you ''did not create'' this media file''' but want it to be used on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may replace this message with one of the fair use tags from [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Tagging fair use images|this list]] if you believe one of those [[Wikipedia:fair use]] rationales applies to this file.
