[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:What Maisie Knew.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:What Maisie Knew.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hi, I recently replaced your uploaded cover image of What Maisie Knew with an image of the original cover of the book per User:Chick Bowen/Bad book covers. A recent cover like yours technically would not be acceptable under the "replaceable" clause of our fair use policy, since the books' original covers, title pages, etc. would be free. Thanks, and I was just letting you know that I did this. QueenStupid 18:17, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Washington Square (novel)

Just a note to say, great addition of citations on this article! If only all articles could be cited as well and as promptly. Frexes 22:11, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] copyright question

The question is whether there is any creative content to the photograph--see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., in which the US Supreme Court declared that photographs designed merely to copy an image could not be copyrighted. There is discussion of this at WP:PD and elsewhere.

Looked at the Washington Square one--yes, I think these slightly 3D images may be borderline. We've been discussing this very issue at User talk:Chick Bowen/Bad book covers, if you'd like to join in. My own feeling is that the one you uploaded does not have enough content to be copyrightable, but I admit not to being 100% sure. Certainly, scans are better, and undoubtedly free. Anyway, thanks for uploading it. Chick Bowen 16:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alabama State Route 59

It would be much appreciated if you did not subst: the road infoboxes. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 20:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Please do not subst. If we change the infobox coding later, then your substed infoboxes will not be updated. Any substing will be reverted. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 21:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recreation

Thanks for your help with this article, I'm really quite astounded how much this article has been vandalized, and by so many different networks; I've semi-protected it for a few days and added it to my watchlist(s). Can't sleep, clown will eat me 13:27, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
