[edit] Groundskeeper Willy

In the article about Groundskeeper Willy, there is a quote about how the Scots are enemies of many other people groups. Do you know what episode that is taken from? Jlaforteza 16:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Use of Image:Hdr-torch.gif

The use of fair use images outside of the main article namespace is proscribed by Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. Arguments based on a presumption that a given copyright holder will not mind the use of their copyrighted material are not an affirmative defense in fair use law proceedings. Barring any proof that the copyright holder has released rights to the image, we must presume that the use of the image here must be under terms of fair use. You can request NYU for permission and/or to release their rights. For example, a user of {{User Tulane}} contacted Tulane's Vice-President of University Communications to request permission for the use of Image:Tulane shield web.jpg, and it was granted. I have reverted your re-insertion of the image onto your userpage. Please do not re-add the image without gaining authorization from NYU to do so. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thank you, --Durin 20:04, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

• You have, despite my informing you of the policy, reverted my removal of Image:Hdr-torch.gif from your userpage. Since you are well aware of the policy as I showed it to you above, you are now willfully violating Wikipedia policy. This is a form of vandalism. If you continue to do this, it may result in you being temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. Copyright is a serious issue. There are droves of lawyers that spend their entire careers working on nothing but copyright suits. Wikipedia is a high profile, top 20 website; we draw a lot of attention, and are far from immune to the watchful eyes of lawyers. Wikipedia operates on very small pockets; we can ill afford such a lawsuit even if we won. The policy is not negotiable. Above, I've told you how you can go about getting the image back on your userpage via legal means. I suggest you follow that suggestion if you want to put the image on your userpage. --Durin 01:14, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, but Image:Nyu torch.png is a derivative work of Image:Hdr-torch.gif. As such, NYU retains copyright. The image is not usable in userspace. I've placed the message below regarding it's orphan status as a fair use image. --Durin 01:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Nyu torch.png)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nyu torch.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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 fair use 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 01:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
