[edit] Welcome to the Wikipedia!

Hello, and Welcome to the Wikipedia, Nakedtruth! Thanks for the contribution over on the 9/11 conspiracy theories article. Here are a few perfunctory tips to hasten your acculturation into the Wikipedia experience:

And some odds and ends: Boilerplate text, Brilliant prose, Cite your sources, Civility, Conflict resolution, How to edit a page, How to write a great article, Pages needing attention, Peer review, Policy Library, Utilities, Verifiability, Village pump, and Wikiquette; also, you can sign your name on any page by typing four tildes: ~~~~.

Best of luck, Nakedtruth, and most importantly, have fun! Ombudsman 20:22, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to commend you on your efforts on the Charlie Sheen article. We've done a good job my friend! Article actually isn't a defamatory bunch of lies now and reads pretty well! Congrats :) - Glen TC (Stollery) 19:48, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Terrorstorm.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.

You commented with strong oppose, but put your comment in the neutral section [1]. Also, you forgot to sign your comment [2]. —AldeBaer 18:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Please don't remove your signature after someone else had to put it in. Thank you. Acalamari 19:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. I was trying to put it in. I thought that's what you were asking me to do in the first place.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:AlexJones.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:AlexJones.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ZimZalaBim talk 18:54, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:MartialLaw.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. BetacommandBot 23:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Image:MartialLaw.jpg

Dear Nakedtruth, The image MartialLaw.jpg was deleted under our policy WP:CSD#I5 in conjunction with WP:NFCC#7. It was tag on October 11, 2007 as an orphaned or unused non-free image and was deleted on October 18, 2007, in accordance with policy. Regards, nat Alo! Salut! Sunt eu, un haiduc?!?! 19:36, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

That's makes no sense. The image in question meets all 10 of the criteria at WP:NFCC#7. And it wasn't "orphaned"! It was originally put in as cover art. Cover art is allowed BY YOUR OWN REGULATIONS provided that it's used for CRITICAL COMMENTARY! You guys keep changing the rules as you go along. Plus Alex Jones has repeatedly given permission on his radio show for his ENTIRE FILMS to be used freely for educational purposes. So clearly cover art is included. This is free content.

Firstly, all cover art, logos and the likes are considered non-free by default. secondly, The image in question did not meet #7 of our NFCC policy. The only reason it would have been deleted if it was orphaned. Someone removed it, therefore it was your responsibility, if you did not wish for the image to have been deleted to ensure that the image was in use before the deletion deadline which is 7 days after being tagged. Thirdly, it does not matter if Alex Jones has repeatedly given permission on his radio show for his Entire Films to be used freely for educational purposes: unless he has a signed document releasing the images to GDFL, Public Domain or for the free usage of image whose copyright is owned by him, and that document is sent to the Wikimedia Foundation or placed on his website, it will be automatically considered non-free, and therefore would fall under our NFCC policy. We do not change the rules as we go, the only time the rule change is when a long discussion is done and the members of the community who participated in the discussions have reached consensus. nat Alo!
