Template:Non-free embedded

This file contains nonessential embedded elements that are not known to be public domain or available under a free license. Scans of books and newspapers, for example, may contain non-free text, illustrations or photographs even if the underlying text is itself public domain. These elements should be removed. (If this is a scan for Wikisource, do not delete pages; instead use a readily apparent redaction such as a black rectangle.) After removing the embedded media, replace this template with both of these: {{Non-free embedded removed|what was removed}} – to help track files which needed embeds removed to comply with copyright. {{Non-free embedded revdel}} – to request that an administrator delete the old file revision containing the non-free embed. Please provide a reason for tagging, specifying what should be removed.
