Rapawhelk.jpg‎ (84KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

This image is used under a fair use rationale, but may fail Wikipedia's first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image that provides substantially the same information might reasonably be found or created. See the talk page for details.

If you believe that a free replacement image can not be reasonably found or created, please add the following to this page:

If this image is determined to be replaceable within one week from (5 December 2006) (12 December), the image may be deleted by any administrator. Do not remove this tag.

Tagger: If this image has, at the time of tagging, a rationale explaining why it is irreplaceable, please do not forget to explain on the talk page why you think that rationale is not valid. Tags applied in contravention of this requirement may be removed; if a rationale is added after the tagging, the normal process for disputing a tag should be followed. After adding this tag, please notify the uploader with
{{subst:replaceable|Rapawhelk.jpg}} ~~~~
Also consider adding:
{{subst:refu-c}}
to the caption in article(s) the image is used to give a little advance warning that a free licensed replacement should be sought after. Adding {{reqphoto}}, or one of the more specific image request templates (listed on the reqphoto template page), to the article's talk page may also be helpful if there are no other images in the article already.

This image is tagged as being allowed under "fair use" with a generic fair use template and was uploaded after May 4, 2006. However, it has no explanation as to why it is permitted under Wikipedia's rules for fair use. It may be deleted seven days after it was uploaded. Please remove this template if a rationale is provided.

Use {{subst:nrd}} to categorize by tag date. Notify the uploader with
{{subst:Missing rationale|Image:Rapawhelk.jpg}} ~~~~
You may also add {{speedy-image-c|[[2006-12-23]]}} to the image captions.
