Talk:Richard Yates

Inconsistency about a photo between different Wikis?
I put a photo of the cover of the first edition of 'Revolutionary Road' (captioned by me in a way complimentary to the deceased author) on the Richard Yates Wikiquote page recently (a page I created and have put the sole input into), because I found the photo in Wikimedia Commons. I see someone took it off the Wikiquote page last month (and presumably out of Wikimedia Commons as well): https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Richard_Yates&action=history The culprit (if culprit it be) seems to be some Estonian called Taivo who, by his own admission, makes it his business to run around deleting stuff: see - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Taivo and then by a secondary culprit called CommonsDelinker (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/User:CommonsDelinker) Whilst it isn't a big deal, I would like to understand this better. The same picture IS on the Wikipedia page for the book, which is because of some "fair usage" policy there: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Road and no fuss is being made about it staying on Wikipedia (Taivo and/or the CommonsDelinker haven't taken it off there); so I have difficulty understanding why the same picture can't appear on the Wikiquote page for this author and has been deleted by someone,or by a robot. Either it is acceptable to use it in Wikipedia and Wikiquote as "fair use" (and can appear on both) or it isn't acceptable (and can't appear on either)? I can get a new copy from Scott Bradfield (who owns a signed first edition) to upload directly into Wikiquote if the picture is allowed on Wikiquote as fair use (even if not allowed on Wikimedia Commons as fair use), but need confirmation if this is or isn't permitted before I do so.
