[edit] Image tag
Thanks for uploading Image:Edge Map.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) I couldn't find permission for other parties to use their images on the source you sited so I'm concerned that it may be a copyright violation. Hopefully you can help clear this up. Thanks so much, Aqua 05:15, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)
- While the edge map image is probably a copyright problem, please be aware that the other two copyright problems that you mention(I believe you are refering to the two photos of people) are probably considered fair use under US copyright law. Those photos may be tagged with {{Promophoto}}. Also, any scans of the book covers of the Edge Chronicles would also be fair use in that article, tagged with {{Bookcover}}, so you may want to consider using an image of the book cover to illustrate that article instead. If you'd like any help don't hesitate to ask.
As always, we appreciate your contributions. --Aqua 06:26, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC)
PS. you can visit Wikipedia:Image copyright tags to see a list of tags that you can apply to images.

[edit] Image:Yep.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Yep.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 03:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
