[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Egg-man+q-mark.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Egg-man+q-mark.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Your change to the non-free rationale probably won't fly. Non-free images (which includes fair use images) are not permitted on User pages at all, even if you are the one who created the image. Also, images that are only used on a user page are likely to be deleted as well. See Wikipedia:User_page#Images_on_user_pages and Wikipedia:Non-free_content_criteria. If you created the image and want to use it, you'll have to release it into the public domain (giving up any rights to the image) or release it under a free license from this page. If you do not want to release the image with a free license, I suggest leaving it off Wikipedia entirely.Dcmacnut (talk) 02:43, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

The change absolutely won't fly; All user images uploaded to Wikipedia must be licensed so that they may be reused by anyone for anything. Restricting use to Wikipedia only makes an image absolutely unacceptable to Wikipedia. —teb728 t c 03:51, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

As to this image, I'm going to lift the copyright claim. TEB728 responded also in Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. I continue there with some more questions. Thanks. --Dumpty-Humpty (talk) 07:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
