[edit] KBWB

Sorry, but to add an image to Wikipedia you have to go to Special:Upload and give it a descriptive file name, a description, and an image copyright tag, and then add it to an article (such as KBWB). You can't simply put "Image:" in front of the URL of an external image, as external images cannot be used on Wikipedia due to technical (and other) reasons, so it won't work. Thank you for your understanding. --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Shannonodonnell.jpg. The image description 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.

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 fair use images 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.

[edit] Image:ShannonODonnellSeattle.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:ShannonODonnellSeattle.jpeg. 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 ☠ 19:30, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images

Further to your comments on my talk page, there is it is not my place to "speak with him and tell him". I would suggest if you are having difficulty with a user's actions, admin or not, you review the dispute resolution at WP:DR. Based on a very cursory look at the talk pages, I would think that you have tried to discuss this with the user, so perhaps proceed to the second step in the process. While I have not looked at the specific page these images were used on (you did not provide the link in your email), I am not generally a big fan of fair use images myself. There are places for it, like logos and deceased people, I think it is too freely used here. Wikipedia's policy on fair use is stricter then required by US law, such are the rules here.--Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 02:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I do apologize for my words but since fair usage is needed, I think it is more than warranted that I have done my very best to my KICU's logo's to place them in a good fashion. KICU. Furthermore, I think that The resolution is a way to take is that I confront the user and hopefully that he may understand that Fair Use Images should be used freely. But each time that a gallery is used, the user, deletes them because he seems very ignorant of the Fair Image use and just deletes it as if he didn't care at all or have a heart. So I'll do my best and hopefully that I can at least permenantly use the images without having the user delete it. But anyway's I'll use the Dispute Resolution tool. Thanks for your help.

Please contribute to the ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Historical logos in galleries, where this admin's enforcement of policy is being disputed. DHowell 00:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About Your KICU Logo

I don't know the exact rules of "fair use", they keep throwing "legal issues" up (which is bull-malarky)...but A Man in Black is going to delete the image galleries (except for the logo inside the info box)...and it seems like no one wants to stop him or find middle ground to keep these images, some of which have been on Wiki for awhile now. I think if it was a "legal issue", we would have heard of a lawsuit or something. I personally doubt that a TV station cares if Wiki uses their old or even new logos.

My advice, is if it is a current logo, put it in place of the logo currently in the infobox...if it is a past logo or image....well, I am not really sure, cause A Man in Black will come along and delete it sooner or later.

Wish I could be more help (sorry to rant there a little). - SVRTVDude 21:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag icons in infoboxes

Perhaps no one has notified you of this, but there is a discussion going on at WikiProject Television Stations that you might want to check out before adding any more flag icons to infoboxes. dhett (talk • contribs) 04:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maureen Naylor

Thanks for dropping a note about this article... simply put, the problem isn't with references -- many local TV personalities (from all around the country) do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. There are no set, firm guidelines for who's "notable" and who isn't (although some have been kicked around by Wikipedia's TV Station project) -- but, as written right now, there isn't anything in Ms. Naylor's article to distinguish her from any other local TV news anchor in that market (or any similar-sized markets). I'm simply asking that you establish why she deserves to have an article in WP. Amnewsboy 02:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey there... perhaps I should clarify -- take a look at Walter Jacobson, who used to anchor for Fox in Chicago. Prior to retiring, he had been established in his market for a long time, has won numerous awards, and the article describes his life and career. You do not need to write "I think Ms. Naylor needs to be Wikipedia because..."; you need to actually show it with established, verifable facts about Ms. Naylor. Happy editing!

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Kevin O'Connell (television personality), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
