Hello,
A long time ago, I uploaded this picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Norbert3.jpg
It is the picture of contributor number 1 on the french wikipedia, much beloved, and who unfortunately died. He appears in the deceased wikipedians as well as on the sign post.
Of course, I could not ask him authorization *after* his death, so whilst I think he would have wholeheartedly agreed, this is under cp, with fairuse rationale.
I got a message on my talk page, telling me the picture was orphaned (it is orphaned in the main article space of course, Treanna was only famous for us - it is linked in two wp articles), so would be deleted in 7 days, unless I could provide a replacement or change the tag. I can do neither of course.
But my question - as an innocent - the only choice I am given on the template is to replace or change the license. There is already a rationale to keep it. There is no link to the place where the issue is discussed (I suppose it is not). The message is from a bot. Where am I suppose to discuss and with who, to have it kept ? What can I do to avoid automatic deletion ? It seems there is no clear venue where to argue in favor of keeping this little memory of a pillar.
Is there a venue ? If there is, should not be added in the template ? How can people know what to do ?
