[edit] Mariah Carey

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As a member of the Wikipedia community, I would like to remind you of Wikipedia's neutral-point-of-view policy for editors, which you appear to have violated at Mariah Carey. In the meantime, please be bold and continue contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you! Orane (talk • cont.) 01:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Do not replace Image:Mariah Carey13 Edwards Dec 1998.jpg with any fair use images. Any fair use photos (i.e. promotional photos) are copyright violations and will be deleted. Also see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria. Orane (talk • cont.) 01:32, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I really understand how you feel about the image. However, Wikipedia has strict policy against using some images in articles. For example, when we have an image that qualifies as fair use, we cannot use any other images (like album covers, promotional photos, TV screenshots etc) because they may be copyrighted (a lot of the pics from google.com are copyrighted) and Wikipedia may be sued for copyright violation.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism, and if you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you.

[edit] blocked

How do you know that the image of her concert is not copyrighted? Did you yourself take it? I talked to you about this, and you did not even attempt to respond to me. As an administrator for this site, I have blocked you from editing wikipedia for a short while. Please type {{unblocked}} if you wish for me to review your block.

[edit] Mariah Carey and The Adventures of Mimi Tour

Please do not replace free-licensed images with unfree ones such as album and single covers and posters. We are trying to build a free content encyclopedia so we need to free-licensed material whenever we can. Per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, "Always use a more free alternative if one is available. Such images can often be used more readily outside the U.S. If you see a fair use image and know of an alternative more free equivalent, please replace it, so the Wikipedia can become as free as possible."
