 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

In 2007, a number of editors began removing large quantities of fair use images from various articles throughout Wikipedia, citing Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria items #3(a) and #8 as basis in policy for doing so. This page is intended as a more thorough explanation of why this is being done to supplement short edit summaries.
