[edit] Transparency

Hello. How did you make the transparency on this picture? The window has this shadow around it. Did you make it after you took the screenshot or do you have some kind of fancy snapshotter which also gets the shadow? I'm just curious. Thanks in advance. --Ysangkok 17:58, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

There is a program called "Kenny Kerr's Window Clippings" found here: <http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/>. It seems like it cannot capture every window at the moment, don't know exactly why but you'll get a rough estimate with transparency if you make two screenshots of the window, one with black and one with white background and substract them from each other; this yields an alpha channel. Tedious but seems to be quite similar to what the program does.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Vista Device Manager.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vista Device Manager.png. 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 insure 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. — Moe ε 23:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ebay_xkcd_bobcat.png

I have tagged Image:Ebay_xkcd_bobcat.png as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Rettetast 21:57, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Ebay xkcd bobcat.png)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Ebay xkcd bobcat.png. 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. —Remember the dot (talk) 04:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
