[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:04apr06_2004_god.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:04apr06_2004_god.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. Videmus Omnia Talk 01:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I am the writer of the strip Image:04apr06_2004_god.jpg you have taken it on yourself to delete. MY NAME IS ON THE CARTOON!!! I co-own the ©! What could be more fair use than that?


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Greatcoatsample 2004 god.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Greatcoatsample 2004 god.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 07:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Offer of help

Hi I saw you having trouble getting an image to stick for The Really Heavy Greatcoat. It can be tricky to get everything right and there is a big clamp down on images at the moment and it has been a real pain trying to fix everything (and a hefty percentage of images have still been deleted despite the Comics Project working hard on things) - so you aren't alone. I have to sort out some FutureQuake images soon so if you'd like me to do your image at the same time point me in the right direction and I'll do it at the same time (all the hoops you have to jump through are similar so doing it in batches is much quicker).

I assume from your edits that you are John Freeman (editor) and it'd be wise to read up on the conflict of interest guidelines. I haven't seen any major problems with your edits (except that you can't add links to your own site, following WP:EL - drop a note into the talk page and another editor will do it if they think it is suitable) and if you are familiar with the guidelines it should help avoid any developing in the future (there are quite a few comics creators editing entries and it is a big help as you are obviously the best source on yourself ;) In fact it'd be handy if you could supply you DOB and a photo and we can drop in an infobox on your own entry).

Hope that helps. (Emperor 03:21, 30 August 2007 (UTC))

Thanks for the offer of help, you can access the God strip via http://www.downthetubes.net/fiction/strips/greatcoat/greatcoat_strip_archive/2004_04.html

How do I send a DOB and pic to you? Do I post it on this page or the talk page of the article?

Appreciate the tips. (johnfreeman96 13:27, 13 September 2007 (GMT))

You can just add your DOB here or in the infobox - there is a template for it that does all the work e.g. {{birth date and age|1960|12|2}} but if you add your DOB I can sort it out if you prefer.
I've added the "please add photo" image to the infobox - if you click on it there are instructions that lead you through adding and properly licensing the image.
That should get you fixed up. If there are any problems let me know and I'll see what I can do. (Emperor (talk) 13:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC))
Sorry I missed the fact there is already a photo here - I've added that in now. (Emperor (talk) 14:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC))

Apologies for the delay and misunderstanding, that was my fault. The image has been restored at the above location. J Milburn (talk) 10:50, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
