[edit] Third Reich map

Sure, I'm happy to do that, but I don't really have time right now. Can you remind me in a month's time, with a bit more detail of what you had in mind?  :o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 12:49, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:A&Fgraymoose.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A&Fgraymoose.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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Hermèslogo.gif)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Hermèslogo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

[edit] "Abercrombie & Fitch Kids"

So far as I'm aware you are correct that the store is never called "Abercrombie & Fitch Kids". I'll take a look at the page and see if I can help. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 05:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, do not refer to your fellow editors with derogatory language. See WP:CIVIL. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 21:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Further, if you edit logged-in then your edits are less likely to be mistaken for vandalism. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 03:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Abercrombie classiccool.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Abercrombie classiccool.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.

[edit] "Public domain"?

You don't really believe that Image:MattRatliff.jpg has been released into the public domain, do you? Do you understand what that term means? I think it's extremely unlikely that the photographer or the company would release the image without any license consideration, and if they did it should be possible to document them doing so. Unless you've got a source for their declaration it must be deleted. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Just because someone has copied an image onto their blog doesn't remove the copyright. At most you can make a fair use claim. As the uploader it's your responsibility to get this right. Please correct the license on the image promptly and be more careful in the future. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, please read this article: public domain. It explains the concept. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I second Will Beback's comment. Your tagging is an misinterpretation of the definition of "public domain." And other than public domain, there is really no good reason to use an advertisement for the article unless the purpose of the image, of course, is to advertise the subject. This is not the purpose of Wikipedia. мirаgeinred سَراب ٭ (talk) 19:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Also agreed. Sorry, but there is absolutely no way a commercial A&F ad poster of one of their moneymaker models by one of their professional paid photographers can be claimed as a "Public Domain" image. The only way we can use this sort of image is if the Photographer himself releases the image for unrestricted public use. I have disabled the PD template you used, and substituted {{Non-free promotional}} until the question is resolved properly. Now - please feel free to attempt to defend the image as a non-free promotional image, but forget about trying to claim it as "Public Domain" just because you found someone else violated the owner's copyright and posted it online somewhere before you did. --T-dot ( Talk/contribs ) 20:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
