[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mikewalker.jpg
 |
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Mikewalker.jpg. 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.
Please go to 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. Jesse Viviano 14:40, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- You need to include the fair use rationale on the image page, as described in the link telling you what a fair use rationale is. Putting it on my talk page will not help. You can copy, paste, and then modify the sample fair use rationales to explain why it is fair use so that you will have the proper formatting when you are finished writing your rationale. One thing you forgot in the fair use rationale you put on my talk page was the effect of what your inclusion of the copied material will have on sales of the media being copied from. Fair use can apply if sales should not be impacted by the copying or if sales will be boosted. If sales will be hurt, the fair use will not apply. Jesse Viviano 19:20, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
You did well for a first time at fair use. You just need to study Wikipedia formatting, and need to know the required assumptions on fair use rationales. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:How to edit a page for a formatting and style guide. As for fair use assumptions, the assumption is that every use must include its own fair use rationale, and that the fair use rationale will not apply to other uses of that image.

[edit] Notability
Hi there, please don't take my edits as vandalism to stern related articles. I saw your O&A comment, and can assure you I like both shows. But please re-read the tag from Eric the Midget. The important part about notability is to site news sources. I know he's a hugely popular stern figure, but if you could just add some sources to prove notability, it would fix the problem. Just being a common character doesn't prove notability. For the same reason I supported deletion of several O&A character articles. --Bill.matthews 02:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Vandalism"
On EXistenZ you reverted my edit as "vandalism" (damn you) i was un fact testing a template. You see, EXistenZ is not the correct title, the movie is in fact eXistenZ with a small "e", but wikimedia need a capital as first letter. In :fr:, we have this templace, so that while the url of the page is "EXistenz", the user see "eXistenz" : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXistenZ I'm bored to see that anyone without a login is immediately suspected of vandalising!
