[edit] Image Tagging for Image:TISM-totem-tennis-at-Homebake.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:TISM-totem-tennis-at-Homebake.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

I know this is an automated message, but I feel bound to respond to it. The image uploaded was only a test to see if would look good in the article. As there was no easy way I could see of previewing an article with an image, I decided to upload the image to check. I also decided that, when reduced to a size where it looked nice in the article, it wasn't clear enough and if it were to be included would possibly have to be cleaned somehow. I doubt this is possible and the image would most likely not be used in the article in the future, however time will tell. If the image has not been updated, changed or actually linked to any articles in the next seven days, feel free to delete it as that would indicate non-use of the picture on Wikipedia. Thankyou.

[edit] Image:TismNatdistcolourweb.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TismNatdistcolourweb.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}}, 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 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. --Chowbok ☠ 20:40, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Tism-history.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tism-history.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Defecate.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Defecate.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 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. Rettetast 20:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Invaderzim-logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Invaderzim-logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Take it. I don't care.
Adding images to Wikipedia is the most difficult and cumbersome event that anyone can ever hope to endure. Then the simple fact is, if any one single person doesn't like the image, it's gone. It doesn't matter how long you worked to put it there or to correctly tag it.
Adding images to Wikipedia? Pure bollocks. -Gohst 20:42, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:1001moviescover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1001moviescover.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 14:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you KIDDING? It's a cover! A book cover! Same as any CD cover or DVD cover, it's fair use, of course it is, don't you know that? Everybody knows that. Christ I hate Wikipedia's image policies. -Gohst 20:41, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Dude, just ignore BCBot - everyone hates it :) — Dihydrogen Monoxide 00:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Dude... is that true? If so, why hasn't somebody pulled the plug on that clinking, clattering cacophony of caliginous cogs and camshafts? -Gohst 01:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, it can be helpful, if you play the game by its rules. It helps if it displays the rules better, but that's another story. The issue with Image:1001moviescover.jpg is that it needs a ==header== that says "fair use in (ARTICLE)" - if that's present, BCBot ignores it. Hope this helps! — Dihydrogen Monoxide 09:29, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Censored-due-to-legal-advice.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Censored-due-to-legal-advice.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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 description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
