I really prefer an individually written note to a canned text in which someone thanks me for uploading an image which they actually want to delete or tells me that an image I uploaded years ago "has been orphaned" after they have removed it from the particular page themselves.

A few months later now, I realise that the above message encourages copyright-obsessed users to dump their unwanted messages on this talk page rather than deterring them from doing so. I'm truly sorry if amongst all that clutter I have missed a real message to me. <KF>, 18 May 2007

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Adair Style.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Adair Style.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Carl Ritter von Ghega money.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Carl Ritter von Ghega money.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Κaiba 18:38, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Rökk1939Heesters.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.

Hi, are you joking sending me the following message?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to 2006 State of the Union address, did not appear to be constructive [to whom??] and has been reverted or removed [by whom??].

Could you please be more precise?

Thanks in advance, and best wishes, <KF> 20:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Added comment to KF's talk page. No, I was not kidding, clear example of an inappropriate edit. Tanthalas39 (talk) 21:00, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

You asked on my talk page if I was joking by leaving you the above warning. No, I was not joking. Your addition of "Jay Bennish (U.S. high school teacher who suggested in one of his classes that Bush's tone was "eerily similar" to that of Adolf Hitler's speeches in that both were very ethnocentric)" is a clear violation of Wikipedia's policies of no original research and verifiability, and completely inappropriate to the policy and tone of Wikipedia. From the comments other users have left for you, it's pretty clear that you do not have a good understanding of Wiki policies. I would suggest reading up on the two I supplied. Tanthalas39 (talk) 20:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

"Clear violation of Wikipedia's policies of no original research and verifiability"? Calm down, and tag the Jay Bennish article. My edit was a copy and paste job from there, verbatim. How can you check on the appropriateness of several edits per minute? <KF> 21:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

No reply then? Best wishes, <KF> 23:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I see you are fishing for a reply on my talk page. All right, I'll bite. First of all, the comment I (automatically) left on your page was minimally inflamatory - "did not appear", welcome to Wiki", etc. I think it is interesting that you tell me to "calm down", yet you seem to be the one in the huff. In all reality, although I don't 100% agree with adding that information to the page, I have to apologize. You are correct - when I have reverted 500 vandal edits in a day, there is a chance that gray-area reversions like this one will happen. Also, I frankly DO appreciate the heads-up; it's always good to have a check-and-balance in the system. All in all, it's a good thing that Wiki is just as easily reverted back - perhaps next time, just change it back and put a friendly note on my page (as I initially did to yours).

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:T Bernhard.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:T Bernhard.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January 2008

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Childfree. Thank you. Slashme (talk) 06:53, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

In response to your reply on my talk page:

I see that you are actually quite scrupulous about using edit summaries, so if I had taken the time to check out your contributions I would probably not have bothered with the notice. Please don't take it personally; it was in any case just meant as a friendly reminder.

With that being said, an explanation is in order. You say that all you did was to change a bracket. That might be so, but I would also have known that without checking the diff if you had filled in the edit summary. Help:Edit summary says:

Always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline. Even a short summary is better than no summary.

All you would have had to do is type "bracket" in the edit summary box, which takes about a second, maybe two. Each user who has the page on his or her watchlist is then saved the time taken by clicking on the "diff" link or hovering on the link, waiting for popups to show the diff. So overall, it's quite a significant saving in time and bandwidth for the project. --Slashme (talk) 08:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:ERingel.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.

[edit] Categorization of Love Lies Bleeding (novel)

Hi, you have removed two categories from that article. First you called that action "recat", at a later point you called it "refined cat". Honestly, I don't understand any of this. Could you please explain?

All the best, <KF> 05:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

In straightforward cases an article should not be in both a category and its subcategory, please see WP:SUBCAT. That is the reason for `refining' as Category:English novels (which is not a Category:English-language novels as many seem to think:) is a subcat of Category:British novels. Similarly, Category:Detective novels is a subcat of Category:Crime novels. As the article was moved from cat to a parent cat the move was classifiesd as 'recategorization'. Please refer to WP:SUBCAT, WP:CAT for editorial guidelines on categorizing articles.

BTW, if you plan to create pages for other Crispin novels, it's a good idea to create Category:Novels by Edmund Crispin (or let me know and I will do it) and properly categorize it while removing, at the same time, redundant cats from individual articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Henry Merrivale (talk • contribs) 22:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. What I don't quite understand is why in one instance—British versus English novels—you moved the article from the "parent cat" to a more specific one while in the other—crime versus detective fiction—your move was in the opposite direction. As I see it, Gervase Fen is clearly a detective, and Love Lies Bleeding undoubtedly a detective novel. Best wishes, <KF> 22:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

In straightforward cases an article should be places in the most specific category, so it was moved from Category:British novels to Category:English novels.

But, Category:Crime novels versus Category:Detective novels is not as straightforward (note that there also exists Category:Mystery novels). I retained the artical in the parent cat as to not impose any specific POV. While, as you point out, Gervase Fen is clearly a detective, novel is more than just a 'detective' novel, which is traditionally concerned with the formal 'detection' only. Also, the term detective novel is more or less superseded now by the term crime novel, at least in academic literature.Henry Merrivale (talk) 23:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Karlheinz&AlmazBöhm.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Karlheinz&AlmazBöhm.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Krenn.jpg

[edit] Little old me?

Hi, having read your comment at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_March_24#Daniel_Brandt_redirect I have been wondering whether you were referring to me. If so, I'd ask you to explain why pointing someone to an ongoing discussion (which, as far as Daniel Brandt is concerned, never happened) would be a no-no.

Considering Daniel Brandt, I don't care whether the article is a biography or a redirect (my statement at the deletion review may indeed be ambiguous in this respect), but having missed out on the whole controversy there is no way I've been able to figure out why anyone (anyone!) might object to a redirect (!). So is this damnatio memoriae really official Wikipedia policy?

Let me just explain how I came to add my "restore": It must have been some time ago that I added a link to Daniel Brandt to my User:KF/For future reference, which usually means that I happened across that article, found it interesting but had no time to read it thoroughly. When I was browsing through that page just a few hours ago I realised a red link where there should be none and started to investigate.

So what's all this about?

Apparantly I was mistaken about the direction of where the canvassing was pointing and it wasn't to do with Daniel Brandt. Therefore my comment about your vote being canvassed was mistaken and I apologise for that. Pointing two editors who you know to have a fixed view of an admin towards a deletion discussion of one of that admin's deletion is clearly canvassing and is not acceptable. Its not your fault you were canvassed but it still shouldn't have happened. Spartaz ^Humbug! 16:37, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. So whenever someone you do not even know tells you to do something you go and do it straight away without as much as thinking? As far as I'm concerned, that would truly be unacceptable, but as every individual is, and will continue to be, a free agent it seems to me there's at least some residual hope left.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Jean_Ziegler.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Jean_Ziegler.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Thank you for uploading Image:Terry St Clair 2008.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 (talk) 10:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sydne Rome I.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sydne Rome I.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Image:OWFischer.jpg

I have tagged Image:OWFischer.jpg 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. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 14:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Missing fair-use rationale

I have tagged Image:Tiller is Nitribitt.jpg with the no-rationale template. Since it's used in two articles, if you believe that each use is justified, you should add a rationale for each article it should be used in. (ESkog)^(Talk) 15:24, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About the image of the Penguin in the armchair, eating chocolate.

My name is Sam Cutler and I work for a design agency in London.

We are having a major problem finding either the original or a printed copy of the Penguin in the armchair and I wondered if you could help us in our search??? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/86/Penguin_II.JPG

Many Thanks.

Hi, I cut out Image:Penguin_II.JPG from a catalogue issued by Penguin Books about 15 years ago, but I'm afraid I haven't got it any more. What looks like a light brown frame in the image is in fact a piece of cardboard onto which I glued the picture. I certainly didn't pay for the catalogue; either I took a free copy from a bookshop or it was sent to me through the post. I'm sorry I can't be of any help really, but why not ask Penguin Books? All the best, <KF> 15:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way, the original size is 17x18 cm. <KF>

[edit] Image:J_Barnes.JPG

[edit] Book covers

Hello there. Remarking on a similarity between two book covers is original research - if there had been a documented spat about one publisher reusing the other's cover design then it would be be of encyclopaedic note, but as it stands it's just a single editor's personal observation. (One of the reasons this is a risky thing to include in an encyclopaedia is that there might be many books that use the hangman motif, and it'd be misleading to single out these particular two as being particularly significant.)

You're absolutely right that one man's remarkable fact is another man's trivia, and that's why we have policies like WP:OR to try to give an objective measure of it. I know it's not exhaustively applied and there's an awful lot of useless trivia on Wikipedia, but I try to trim it back on articles I happen to have on my watchlist, particularly edits which would create a new "appearances in popular culture" section, as your Hangman (game) edit did. --McGeddon (talk) 11:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Five o clock.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Five o clock.JPG. 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] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Albers Wind Meer.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Albers Wind Meer.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.
