Template:Missing rationale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Fair use rationale for {{{1}}}

Thanks for uploading [[:{{{1}}}]]. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to [[:{{{1}}}|the image description page]] and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation 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.

Template usage notes See documentation. Most test(n) templates take a single optional parameter: the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. test5 optionally takes two parameters: The first is the duration of the block (with "temporarily blocked" as the default if a specific period is not provided). The second is the name of the page to which the template applies. If provided, this page will be cited in the warning. Please refer to the index of test templates before using any template on user talk pages to warn a user. Applying the best template available for your purpose may help reduce confusion from the message you are sending. Please remember to substitute the template—use {{subst:Missing rationale}} rather than {{Missing rationale}}.
