[edit] Image galleries

Please stop reverting logo image galleries into TV station articles. Such galleries violate WP:FUC (specifically #3 and #8), and need to be removed. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 13:19, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

These logos are part of the history of the stations they represent and must be allowed to stay in their respective articles. There should be no issues over images that many people may never see, unless they have lived in the area of these stations.

This has been discussed to death at WT:TVS. The upshot is that you need to stop replacing them, since the negligable historical value does not outweigh Wikipedia's rules on using fair-use images. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Your personal interpretation of Wikipedia's policies doesn't outweigh the historical value (how ever "negligible" you think it might be) of including past logos. Declaring that the issue has been "discussed to death" does not end the discussion, which is still ongoing at Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Historical logos in galleries. DHowell 17:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I see you've gone back to reverting logo galleries into articles. Please desist, or I will unfortunately have to block you. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I did warn you, and I've unfortunately been forced to block you. Please do not resume the reinsertion of non-free images when your block expires. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:WWLRADIO.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:WWLRADIO.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Reverts

Hi Mario, Please check into what wikipedia is WP:NOT -- we don't collect radio or television "lineups" and schedules (mostly due to their difficulty to maintain accurately, as well as it's generally considered unencyclopedic content). I'll take care of the edits you did this morning when I return this afternoon. Just wanted to give you the heads up. Thanks. /Blaxthos 17:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. SERSeanCrane 18:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing templates

Why are you removing dispute templates without even discussion the (clearly labeled) dispute disccusion on the talk page? /Blaxthos 01:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

This article's importance is not worth disputing just because some people outside the subject's area don't agree with it. /Mario500 14:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Please actually read the dispute tag and discussion. The importance isn't what is disputed -- the WP:Verifiability and point of view are. Don't remove them without trying to build a WP:CONSENSUS first. /Blaxthos 16:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I read the tag in the past and I'm sure of the article's neutrality. This line brought "importance" to my mind: "This article needs massive trimming (if it is even notable at all)." /Mario500 13:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Billie Lou Watt.JPG

Thank you for uploading Image:Billie Lou Watt.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. _→AzaToth 16:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Billie Lou Watt.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Billie Lou Watt.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.

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. _→AzaToth 16:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated and persistant copyright violations

Man, you can't just cut anything out of a copyrighted publication, scan it, and use it on wikipedia. I've seen a disturbing pattern dating back months -- using deceptive copyright templates (using {{art}} on bibliographical images) and omitting any fair use rationale -- and I've only been looking for a few hours. Just a fair warning, I'm going to go through everything you've uploaded with a fine tooth comb. Please make sure to actually read our use policies before clipping something, uploading it, and claiming fair use. /Blaxthos 20:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I re-inserted the logos after they were considered "orphaned" by one user due to their past removal. When I first came to this website, all I wanted to do was contribute information that was once rare online and not cause any trouble. I followed the rules regarding images, templates, and listing outside sources, yet many months later some users disagree with my contributions to the site. Instead of doing something about me, you should look at yourselves and the contributions I made. My images have license tags, links, and names of origination. Adding a written rationale to these images in addition to the tags should not required in the case of fair use. Also, I dare you to look at the articles of longtime TV stations and not say, "This station should be happy to know that many people care about its history, including past logos." /User:Mario500 04:54, 27 March 2007 (UTC) (copied from elsewhere)

You know, mario, after reading your response it is a little easier for me to WP:AGF regarding your actions (despite repeating the behavior that earned you a block once). I believe you haven nothing but good intentions (let's not forget where that path goes), however it seems like you are intentionally or unintionally ignoring the copyright and notability rules we follow. Honestly, I liked seeing a lot of the old TV station logos you posted -- they remind me of my childhood (I spent my first 18 years in mobile), however rules regarding fair use claims (specifically the rationale requirements and appropriate status templates) are non-negotiable. Likewise, it's generally a violation of fair use if more than one fair-use image is included in an article. You aren't being targeted because we want to piss on your parade, or have something against you or the stations involved. We just want to make sure what we're all doing here is legally and ethically sound. I suggest perhaps you could write to some of the stations and get permission to use their old logo -- i'd make sure I knew exactly waht to ask for and how to ask for it before i asked, though; likewise i'm not saying such would meet notability requirements for inclusion in articles. I'm just trying to suggest an alternative solution. And I will say this, although I don't think it's appropriate here, I do think that there should be some way to preserve the history of stuff like that. Anyway, just please don't go breaking policies because of what you think "should" be (instead just stick with what "is"). Hope this helps. /Blaxthos 11:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Doing it again??

Dude, from the {{art}} template:

This image is of a drawing, painting, print, or other two-dimensional work of art, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the artist who produced the image, the person who commissioned the work, or the heirs thereof. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of works of art

for critical commentary on

the work in question,

the artistic genre or technique of the work of art or

the school to which the artist belongs

Now, explain to me how this applies -- the image in question is used to identify a biographical subject. The art template is for talking about the art or artist, not in a biographical article. Please do not re-insert fraudulent licenses, especially after repeated warnings. No more good faith. /Blaxthos 02:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, please stop putting news broadcast schedules into tv station articles -- they are clearly prohibited in what wikipedia is not. /Blaxthos 02:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

This art template should be improved and include the following:

the subject in question

Another flaw of Wikipedia, I believe. Also, I have never added a schedule for news programs in a TV article. User:Mario500 06:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Mario, if you think the policy or guideline is incorrect then you past commentary on the appropriate Wikipedia Talk page. You don't go and blatantly violate the rules (most especially copyvio rules) because you wish they were different. I also posit that in this case we're talking about changes with legal implications -- fraudulent use of copyright tags is a serious offense. Please stop. Regarding the TV schedules, I must have confused you with another. My apologies. /Blaxthos 08:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

The art template appeared to be most approriate for the image I found, based on the first paragraph, but I honestly had no idea it was only for images included in articles that concern the artwork. I figured that the license tag would be much broader in the use of such images. User:Mario500 16:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Wkrg.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. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 17:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Jet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jet.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 07:08, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Dot Moore 2.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Dot Moore 2.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.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:24, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:710am.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:710am.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.
