mlb.com images 

Hi Nishkid.  I saw you RfA listing and began looking through your contributions when I noticed that you've uploaded about 100 player portraits from mlb.com, tagging them as . One problem is that none of them contain fair use rationales. The more important problem is that they do not meet criterion #1 of WP:FUC. As these players are living, and especially because they are active and perform in public 162 times a year, there is ample opportunity for contributors to take their own photographs and release them under free licenses.  We need images like that, that like their articles' text, can be used anywhere, by anyone. The problem with using these photographs, even in the short term, and even if they are intended for publicity purposes (and I'm not certain these are), is that it greatly hurts our chances of acquiring the free alternatives. Best of luck on your RfA. ×
