There is no automatic entitlement to use non-free content in an article or elsewhere on Wikipedia. Articles and other Wikipedia pages may, in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Text|the guideline]], use brief verbatim textual excerpts from copyrighted media, properly attributed or cited to its original source or author (as described by the [[WP:CITE|citation guideline]]), and specifically indicated as direct quotations via quotation marks, {{tag|blockquote|o}}, {{tlx|Quote}}, or a similar method. Other non-free content—including all copyrighted images, audio and video clips, and other media files that lack a free content license—may be used on the English Wikipedia only where '''all 10''' of the following criteria are met.
# {{/span|1}}'''No free equivalent.''' Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.
