[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:SuperCollider icon cube bw.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:SuperCollider icon cube bw.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Shyam (T/C) 14:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Shyam, please see comments here: Image talk:SuperCollider icon cube bw.png --mcld 16:41, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure whether the image available on commons is free. It could be deleted from commons as well. Becuase there is missing essential source and license information. I would say to use the image which was uploaded by you. Please provide fair-use rationale to the image as well and why to you think it could not be replaced by a free image. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 16:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
The "fair-use rationale" is already listed on both of the images' pages - the use is to illustrate an icon of a piece of software. In addition: The icon is specifically designed for, and distributed as part of, a GPL-licensed piece of software, so perhaps (although I am less sure of this) the icon comes under the GPL license itself and is therefore free. Any guidance? --mcld 20:07, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Ladyfest 2007 stall.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ladyfest 2007 stall.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot (talk) 22:07, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abuse Reports

Please don't submit IPs at WP:ABUSE unless the address has a long history of abuse, with five or more blocks in recent history. Investigations are very time consuming, so we need to narrow the field a bit. Thanks! Nburden (T) 22:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
