[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Yak-38.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Yak-38.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 {{di-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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Russavia 03:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FU rationale

Hi Emt147,

thank you for your contributions. Could you please clearify why exactly it is according to you impossible to make another picture of this type, and it is thus not replaceable with a free equivalent? Thank you for your help. effeietsanders 20:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Emt147,
Thank you for your explanation on my talkpage. I added a summary to the image description. Please note that the template you point to as rationale mentions itself that that rationale is not enough, and needs to be more detailed. Please add such a detailed rationale whenever you upload a claimed FU image. Explain why no new image can be obtained under a free license etc. Thanks a lot. effeietsanders 12:18, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Airspeed Envoy.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Airspeed Envoy.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:P-66_Vanguard.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:P-66_Vanguard.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. 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 non-free media 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. ~ Wikihermit 01:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Please see Manual of Style (trademarks)discussion regarding issues such as GETRAG, SAAB, and SYSCO, which are capitalized registered acronym trademarks, but are not strict acronyms.

[edit] Image of Høver M.F. 11

Hi Emt. I understand that you uploaded the image "Image:Hover M.F.11.jpg". Could you tell me were you found this? I would like to add some details to the image file as I believe it falls under Public Domain in Norwegian law. If you could help me out in this respect that would be great. Thanks. Manxruler (talk) 22:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll see if I can track the source down. Norwegian copyright laws are quite liberal, but I need to know the source. Thanks for the information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manxruler (talk • contribs) 06:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Phantom PhAR

Hi Emt – fitting comments on the F-4 FAR page. I might not have added significantly to the article myself, but I wouldn't like to see it lose its FA status. To that end, I have attempted to address as many of the reviewers' nit-picking general WP:MOS and WP:Air MOS comments as I am capable of. The problem is that there are reviewers who hold WP:MOS in higher regard than that of WP:Air (which is IMHO more suitable for the purpose) and the resulting conflicts are likely to affect the outcome of the FAR even if there are no actual faults or errors in the article. This is a ridiculous situation, and common-sense ought to prevail, but that is a rare commodity these days. Like you, I have come across increasing numbers of instances where competent and knowledgeable editors are having to cope with the juvenile antics, obstinancy and vandalism of a seemingly infinite number of mindless morons, and at times ask myself "why bother?", but the infantiles must not be allowed to win! I hope you don't mind me having a rant on your page, and don't expect a response, but I just wanted to get it off my chest without affecting the F-4 FAR. Much obliged (and feeling a bit better now). --Red Sunset 16:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
