[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Batman_handing_robin_suit.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Batman_handing_robin_suit.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. Rettetast (talk) 11:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to :Image:Demi Lovato Picture.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Falsely claimed ownership. Release invalid as you don't own the picture. Credit to: Debi Patton of flygirlphotography.com Please read WP:IUP before uploading more images. You don't own stuff you just found on the net. NrDg 18:37, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
