User:Nilfanion/TFA pics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its unfortunate when articles which are selected as Today's featured article end up on the main page without a freely licensed picture. However it is much worse when we do not realise that the image selected for the blurb is both not free and readily replaceable until it is actually on the main page. This is just an aide to help identify these in advance and so give editors a chance to identify this first; leading to either a good replacement being located or possibly the article removed from the TFA queue and replaced.

Images on the main page should be free unless the article is such that no free image is possible (for example an aritlce on a computer game).

This is not a judgement on the suitabilty for the main page, merely if it is usable under the current rules.

[edit] Format

Use the following:

  • Date: The date it will be on the main page
  • Usable: Use {{yes}}, {{no}} or {{depends}}, depending on the status of the image in the context. Use no only if certain it is unusable and yes if certain it is OK.
  • Article: The article title
  • Image: The image selected for the main page (the source image not any cropped versions); if the image is on Commons link to the page there (avoiding a redlink).
  • License: Claimed license of the image.
  • Source: Either known or unknown.
  • Comments: Any other comments


[edit] March 2007

Of the 27 articles, 18 are certainly OK, 8 have some concerns and one is definitively bad.
