This is strange to me, because Steven Zucker, a scholar and art historian like myself (and runs Smarthistory.orG) posted the image and identified the image as "Attribution-NonCommerical-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)" as indicated on the image file: https://www.flickr.com/photos/profzucker/50374056337
I am trying to help my students navigate this properly and teach them along the way, so I am sorry that this remains unclear to me (and it is very confusing for students who are trying their best to navigate semi-legalese regarding copyright rules and laws)--I went out of my way to ensure the image was OK to use. I will ask the folks at Wikipedia Education to assist me on this, because I am confused as to why this image has been deleted. Thanks for alerting me to the problem.

Sir, NC licenses are unfortunately not allowed here on Commons, see Commons:Licensing. --Achim55 (talk) 17:58, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you -- the folks at WikiEdu have clarified things for me as well. DrMedRenArtHistory (talk) 18:05, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
