Orphaned fair use image (Image:Periandros.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Periandros.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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

Image:Ashley Leggat.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ashley Leggat.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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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.

Unspecified source for Image:Natzbols.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Natzbols.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

131-year-old?

Brandmeister, in regards to the 131-year-old claimant from Dagestan: I've had people tell me they 'laughed' at that claim. It's one of the most preposterous claims made this year. Are you going to believe every UFO report that comes along? This woman's 'passport' was issued in 2006, not 1875, so it doesn't prove anything. We don't even have a day or month of birth. Read the longevity myths article. → R Young {yakłtalk} 19:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Greetings,

A search of literature finds that all nations have claimed extreme ages, including industrialized nations (i.e., Thomas Parr claimed to be 152 in the U.K. in 1635). After education and recordkeeping became compulsory, the longevity myths died out. Today, they still flourish in areas of poor recordkeeping. For the most recent claim, that the document was just issued indicates there really is no original birth record. For Shirali Mislimov, he was promoted as a nationalist longevity myth. Scientists believe that the human life span is about 120 years, with Jeanne Calment's 122 years the oldest proven life span.

Notably, when recordkeeping improves, myths decline. China claimed to have a 256-year-old in 1933. by 1982 the oldest person in China was '144'. In 1993, China's oldest person was '131'. Today, China's oldest person is '120.' Better recordkeeping results in more accurate data.

Note that we cannot be 100% certain that the 116-year-old woman in the U.S. is the world's oldest person. But if there is someone older, they are likely between 116 and 120 years old.

Sincerely, Robert Young→ R Young {yakłtalk} 19:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—and wherever—you'd like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
  • Working on featured-level articles? We have some advice for nominators, and an A-Class review process to help check high-quality articles.
  • Want to help with specific requests for assistance? Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
  • Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, or periods.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 21:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello Brandmeister. I've tagged Image:Tomatina 1165041.jpg as an orphaned fair use image because it is no longer used in any article, as required by the fair use policy.

Alice Barnham in Category:Medieval women

Are you sure she fits? Middle ages says they generally stop in the 16th century, and AB lived (1592-1650). She seems a bit later than Medieval. AnonEMouse (squeak) 21:55, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Ouch. Yes, she certainly was a woman, but we can't just put all women in the Category:Women category directly, the category would be useless with half our biographies in it, hundreds of thousands of articles. Do we have a "Renaissance Women" or something? AnonEMouse (squeak) 22:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, the article hardly fits to any specific category. How about Category:British women? --Brand спойт 22:14, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Brandmeister, know you're interested in the modern Russian military (noticed the milunit box you added to Russian Ground Forces, and thanks for your notes on the FAC nom for that).

Image:CooLio.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CooLio.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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.

Unspecified source for Image:Doenitz.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Doenitz.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for uploading Image:VirtuallyJenna.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

  2. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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. NAHID 10:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Shtormovoye oblako.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Shtormovoye oblako.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

I don't believe this image satisfies the requirement that "no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information"- specifically, free images of shelf clouds such as Image:Rolling-thunder-cloud.jpg are available. If you disagree, you can provide a fair use rationale for its use in that article. --Safalra 19:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
