[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:DFTEMPLATE.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:DFTEMPLATE.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.
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. Durin 22:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Both images are tagged with a fair use tag. The use of fair use tagged images outside of the main article namespace is not permitted per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. I have reverted your removal of the orphaned tag from the image. Please do not remove the tag again without this image being used in the main article namespace. Also, you do not need to upload smaller versions of images in order to have such smaller images. You can take the existing larger image and have the mediawiki software resize per your use. For example, using the code [[Image:DestinyFulfilled.jpg|64px]] uses the original, large image and downscales it to 64px in size, which is what your version does. Since your version is a wholly redundant, smaller copy of image:DestinyFulfilled.jpg, I have deleted your version per WP:CSD image, #1. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 03:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Please STOP adding fair use images to Template:User Destiny's Child. If you don't understand whether an image is being used under terms of fair use or not, ask first before adding an image to that template again. I will be happy to answer you. Thank you. --Durin 20:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
- Fair use is a term used in copyright law. If an image has a copyright, it is possible to use the image in some narrowly defined cases. You don't need to worry about those cases in terms of consideration for your template. Wikipedia policy, irrespective of copyright law, states that we must not use copyrighted images outside of actual Wikipedia encyclopedia articles. This means we can't use copyrighted images in templates. Thus, album covers can not be used as they are copyrighted in almost all cases.
- If I might suggest, rather than focus on trying to create a userbox to express your admiration for your favorite performer(s), why not enhance the encyclopedia instead? We're here to build an encyclopedia. If you want to create a home page for yourself, try myspace.com or facebook.com or any other similar venue. Wikipedia is very, very poorly suited to that purpose. --Durin 00:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Your discussions on my Talk/Vandalism Dispute Pages
Excuse me, what the heck are you talking about? When have I vandalised any Wikipedia articles?

[edit] Re: ¬¬³
What's with that title? Anyway as Durin have already pointed out multiple times above that is an unfree image, promotional material is not free content (read it), wich is why the promo tag explicitly says fair use. Unless it explicitly says somewhere that the image can be used for any purpose, commercial or otherwise it's not free use. Promo material is generaly intended for promotional or personal use only, wich is not the same thing. Please read up on Wikipedia:Copyrights, Wikipedia:Fair use and maybe the Wikipedia:Image copyright issues for dummies (no offense intended by the title) essay. I realise copyright is not always the easiest subject matter, but attacking everyone who try to educate you and enforce our rules on this is not going to help, and that image can not be used in that userbox, trust me on this, there is a reason there are no "official" photos in all the other userboxes out there (well most of them anway, some continue to fly under our radar). --Sherool (talk) 12:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism?
How am I vandalizing by finding different facts than you? Its not like I am making these numbers up for Beyonce's sales. I have seen 11 million more often than any other number - and i am not commiting vandalism - i have found various information which no matter how many times i present it, you call it "inflation". I don't know if you have something against this album or whatever but it was/is one of the most successful albums of the new millenium and i find it hard to believe that WW sales in the past 3 years are under 10,000,000 due to her HUGE success as a solo artist with songs "Crazy In Love", "Baby Boy", and "Naughty Girl" in the US as well as "Work It Out" and "'03 Bonnie and Clyde" in Europe. If you don't mind, I'd like to see your updated evidence (as of 2006) stating that sales are only 8 million.
[edit] BEYONCÉ Certifications by RIAA.JPG
Two reasons:
- The image does not need its own article page.
- Just because information can be freely accessed on the web does not mean it is free content. Please read Wikipedia:Copyrights.
In addition, the RIAA is not a public agency, but an industry organization made up record labels and distributors. If you need information from their site to reinforce claims made that others keep changing, then you should link to the information on the RIAA site. If the information is freely accessible but not easily linked to, then you might want to consider using the article in question's talk page and provide instructions on how to verify it. -- Hawaiian717 00:28, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how things work where you are, but the RIAA in the United States is most certainly not a government agency. Sure, they'd love people to think that, and through their influence in Congress can get whatever laws they want passed, but they're are not. American TV and radio stations are also private enterprises, even PBS and NPR, which do receive some financial support from the federal government, are independently run. Any content they post on their web sites are also copyright restricted, not free content. As is the RIAA's site, right at the bottom of their main web page is says Copyright ©2003 Recording Industry Association of America. All Rights Reserved.
- As far as how I spend my time on Wikipedia, I'll do with is as I please. If you check my edit history you'll see I've made plenty of contributory edits, including starting a few brand new articles. Sometimes, I choose to engage in a little new pages or recent changes patrol. Also, I'm not the one deleting the content. I'm not an administrator (nor do I particularly desire to become one), thus I don't have the capability to do so. All I can do is tag it so that an administrator can take a look at it and make a final decision. -- Hawaiian717 01:47, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- A "public agency" is, by definition, governmental: [1] -- Hawaiian717 02:40, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:008.jpg
Please have a look at http://www.beyonceworld.net/gallery/disclaimer.htm. This image may in fact be copyrighted. We do not know. As such, I've removed the improper {{gfdl}} tag you put on the image. Please clarify and cite evidence of the copyright status of this image. If this information can not be found, the image will be deleted in seven days.
