[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Football Conference.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Football Conference.png. 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 (talk) 06:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Westfield Derby.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Westfield Derby.png. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Observer front page.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Observer front page.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 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. Save-Me-Oprah^(talk) 21:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A favour request

Hi,

Thank you for deleting Image:Chester Old College.jpg, as I had copied it to Commons, obsoleting the original image.

As your user page suggests that you are very willing to help, I would like to ask you a related favour. I have also copied another one of my images, Image:Derby Midland Station Departures Board.jpg, to Commons; could you please delete the now-unneeded Wikipedia version of the image?

Also, both the images I transferred to Commons have a tag (added by the tool I used to upload it) saying that they need to be reviewed. I don't really understand what this means, but is it something you are able to do?

Thank you muchly! - Green Tentacle (talk) 16:26, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I've deleted the local image. The reason why the bot tags the images so is because people can upload non-free images or copyright violations to the Commons; also, the bot isn't smart enough to properly categorize them. Normally a "trusted user" on Commons needs to review the image, but since these two are properly categorized and obviously have licenses that check out, you can go ahead and remove the tag. east.718 at 19:59, March 31, 2008

Cool; I've done that. Thanks! - Green Tentacle (talk) 20:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:University of Chester coat of arms.jpg. 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, 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).

I love bots. Warning me that an image I orphaned and I listed for deletion is orphaned. Isn't that nice?! - Green Tentacle (talk) 16:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Isthmian_League.jpg

I have tagged Image:Isthmian_League.jpg as a disputed use of non-free media, because there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please clarify your fair use rationale on the image description page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 04:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Er, if you bothered looking at the history of the image, you'd find that I did not add the fair use rationale. There was no requirement for one back when I uploaded the image. I know the rationale isn't valid now, but it really is nothing to do with me. I just do not understand why the original uploader of the image is always held responsible for any subsequent changes to fair use rules that invalidate every image on Wikipedia. I'm sick of it. It would be much easier — and more useful to Wikipedia — if editors who find invalid fair use rationales fixed them, rather than whining to users who have probably forgotten that they uploaded the image in the first place. - Green Tentacle (talk) 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Asa Dotzler.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Asa Dotzler.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hmm... interesting. This image was definitely available on Flickr under the the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Licence when I originally uploaded it, though the page now bears no such licence. I uploaded the image at the same time as Image:Mitchell Baker.jpg, which was taken by the same photographer at the same event and was also available under the same licence. In fact, another user uploaded exactly the same image to Commons (without crediting me as the original uploader), leading to my original image on Wikipedia being deleted as it was a duplicate. The Flickr page for that image has also lost its the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Licence. The photographer has obviously decided to retract their licensing of the image under Creative Commons. I don't the legal ins and outs of this (can someone retract a licence?), but if Image:Asa Dotzler.jpg is to be deleted, so should Image:Mitchell Baker.jpg. Likewise, if one is kept, so should the other (presumably both stored on Commons). - Green Tentacle (talk) 20:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

No a creative Commons license can't be revoked see here. That though is the advantage of uploading Flickr images to Commons, they usually get reviewed within 24hrs to ascertain if the licensing is correct. That way at least if at some future date the Flickr licensing is changed then we can be pretty certain that at the time of upload it was indeed under a free license. Polly (Parrot) 20:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's a bit of a moot point now, since someone completely ignored the {{hangon}} tag and the reasoning on the image's talk page and deleted it anyway. - Green Tentacle (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes it is very frustrating when license changes occur, all I can advise is that in future you upload Flickr images to Commons or use web citation if you upload to here, that way at least you should have some evidence of the license you uploaded under. Polly (Parrot) 21:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I probably would upload to Commons now, but I don't think I even knew it existed in 2005! - Green Tentacle (talk) 21:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Qualified Teacher Status

Hello - I see you undid some earlier edit on this QTS article. I can see that this was in good faith, as you reverted to what was previously the requirement. However, since the most recent edition of standards for initial teacher training, the requirements have been amended slightly to those which were written in by the unregistered user. I have now added a reference linking to the TDA to clarify this point as it is likely to be a common mistake due to the all-too-frequent changes by the TDA of such issues. Tafkam (talk) 22:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Didn't know about the change. - Green Tentacle (talk) 22:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] OCR

Bottom line is, you must discuss a potentially contraversial move before making it, and arrive at a consensus. Please do so on the article's talk page. Per the moving page, "WARNING! This can be a drastic and unexpected change for a popular page; please be sure you understand the consequences of this before proceeding." _Talk Islander 22:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Firstly, I resent you accussing me of edit warring. All I did was move an article. As explained in my edit summary (and have done again on Talk:OCR (examination board)), all I was doing was following Wikipedia policy, which clearly states the article should be at its spelled out name. The bottom line is that there is nothing to discuss and there is absolutely nothing controversial about this move. The policy makes it quite clear that I am correct. - Green Tentacle (talk) 22:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

See my talk page and the article's talk page. _Talk Islander 22:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
