Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload files. However, it appears that one or more of the files you have uploaded or added to a page may fail our
non-free policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted file of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our
Non-free criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the

Template documentation
This template should always be
substituted (i.e., use {{
subst:Uw-nonfree}}). Any accidental transclusions will be automatically substituted by a bot.
Usage:
{{subst:Uw-nonfree}}
{{subst:Uw-nonfree|Article}} references a specific article
{{subst:Uw-nonfree|Article|Additional text}} adds text onto the end of the message
This standardized template conforms to guidelines by
the user warnings project. You may discuss the visual appearance of these standardized templates (e.g. the image in the top-left corner) at the
user warning talk page.
Please refer to the
index of message templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending.
Please remember to
substitute the template using {{subst:Uw-nonfree}} rather than {{Uw-nonfree}}.
To give greater detail to your message, you may add the article and some additional text to the end of the template. If such article or additional text includes a URL or anything which includes an equal sign ("="), it may break the parser's function unless you prefix the article or the text with a named template parameter. Use "1=" if the article contains an equals sign and use "2=" if the additional text contains an equals sign (such as a URL).
This template automatically populates the relevant category with the user page. If and when the user account gets blocked, or approximately eight weeks pass with no further action, that categorization is automatically removed.
