  • Image has been changed to a brighter resolution and slightly tinted hue from original, making it of slightly inferior quality compared to original
  • The image is much smaller than original (original image size is 1227x900px; this image is 678x527px)
  • The image is significant given the content of the article.
  • Sculpture is on free, open public display in a public location i.e. anyone can walk past this statue and take a photograph of it
  • The image is of historical importance to the article
  • This smaller, tinted brightness and hue reproduction photograph can be reasonably described as "irreplaceable" and meets outlined Non-free content criteria

  • (NFCC2): Intended content of this reduced size, tinted hue and cropped image is not for use in a manner detrimental to the original copyrighted media
  • (NFCC3):Image is cropped, of a lower quality than original, and is only intended for use within one sub section only upon the article regarding 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing
  • (NFCC4): Image has been on free, willing public display by both original sculptor and online by individual who has taken the photograph. As stated earlier: This Sculpture - which I have named the author of in addition to individual who took original image - is on free, open public display in a public location i.e. anyone can walk past this statue and take a photograph of it. It is not as if this sculpture no longer exists or is on display in a museum or suchlike
  • (NFCC5): Image is pertinent to article, given both discussion and the fact it was unveiled on the 50th anniversary commemoration of event and at a historic location as Kelly Ingram Park was a rallying point for civil rights activists in the 50s & 60s. Also, image is relevant to the subsection (for which sole usage is intended) in question; and would significantly increase readers' understanding of significance of and identification of the topic.
  • (NFCC 6&7): Intended for usage solely within this article. Specific, verifiable links and data given name authors and source
  • (NFCC8): Inclusion would significantly increase readers' understanding of the historical significance of individuals within sculpture and how their deaths galvanized and influenced onus for civil/social change the perpetrators of this act were desperate to prevent
  • (NFCC9): I have given a very specific name to the file. In addition, the nature of the content leaves ambiguous use of the image extremely unlikely (I have given a very specific name to the file. In addition, the nature of the content leaves ambiguous use of the image extremely unlikely)
  • (NFCC10): Having specifically named the website from where I captured the image, plus having specifically named the original author of the sculpture and who took the image in question, in further addition to meeting the specific criteria outlined above and here, this image meets the Non-free use rationale guidelines outlined by Wikipedia (NFCC10)
    • I believe, that the use of this image upon only the English-language version of Wikipedia to illustrate a subsection of the article relating to the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church Bombing falls under the "Non-profit educational"; the "nature of the copyrighted work"; and also the "amount and substantiality of the portion used" clauses of the Fair Use principle which, are currently upheld by United States law.
