[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Netizenflow.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Netizenflow.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 09:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Late Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
Kind of late, but thanks for uploading an image for Miley Cyrus that resolved the whole image issue. If you could get a picture of Vanessa Anne Hudgens, that would be great! bibliomaniac15 00:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image for Vanessa Anne Hudgens

It looks great. We'll have to wait and see if it gets accepted or not. bibliomaniac15 02:37, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miley Cyrus photograph

Hi, I noticed that you uploaded Image:MileyCyrus Grani 9189349 400-1-.jpg for the Miley Cyrus article. The only thing I'd recommend is inserting a fair use rationale, or it's going to get deleted. Pink moon 1287 14:52, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:VanessaAnn Grani 9193069 400-1-.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:VanessaAnn Grani 9193069 400-1-.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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 unlicensed 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. Yamla 23:13, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MileyCyrus Grani 9189349 400-1-.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:MileyCyrus Grani 9189349 400-1-.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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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 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. Yamla 16:20, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

You said: "Is the fair use rationale ok now? It WAS a Photo shoot, so I used the appropriate template. Is it acceptable?"

No. Near as I can see, all you did was change the license, not provide a detailed fair-use rationale. There's no explanation why this particular copyrighted image is required and appropriate in the articles it is used in. Detailed fair-use rationales are hand-written explanations. However, it's really not worth worrying about. This is a copyrighted image and recent changes to WP:FUC mean that non-free images cannot be used to depict living people. --Yamla 20:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
You said: "What about now?"
Two problems. First, wireimage images aren't promotional, they are commercial. Wikipedia is not permitted to use them. Second, even if we were, we can't use it under the terms listed. For example, we require that images may be modified. Third, you don't mention the specific article this rationale is for. In the end, though, it doesn't matter. This image can be replaced by a free image, thus it will always fail WP:FUC. Anyway, as you identified this as a wireimage picture, I will delete it. I appreciate your effort, though. Copyrighted images are a huge pain in the behind and often are inappropriate for the Wikipedia. --Yamla 21:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. —Mets501 (talk) 01:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your upload of Image:Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP.png

I replaced your uploaded screenshot, and tell us why. I saw the screenshot -- I see that the desktop background is from the Windows Server 2003 and is not a part of Windows XP. Windows XP is uses the default background, Bliss as a default desktop background, and you should use that background for a perfect theme for Windows XP. Jigs41793 Talk 07:48, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:MapleIcon.gif

Hello, AOL Alex. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:MapleIcon.gif) was found at the following location: User:AOL Alex. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 06:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logo_netspend.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo_netspend.gif. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 16:24, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unknown source of Image:CharlieRacismBrown.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:CharlieRacismBrown.jpg, by Angielaj (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:CharlieRacismBrown.jpg is an image with unknown source or unknown copyright status which has been tagged as unknown for more than 7 days (CSD I4).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:CharlieRacismBrown.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Image:CharlieRacismBrown.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:50, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
