[edit] License tagging for Image:Empire Strikes Back Arcade Game.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Empire Strikes Back Arcade Game.gif. 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 06:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Journey_Title_Screen.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Journey_Title_Screen.png. 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. MECU≈talk 22:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding video game manual text

Hi, I've noticed you've been adding a lot of game manual text to video game articles. This is a possible copyright violation, and also Wikipedia has a policy against including instruction manuals (see WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information). If there's any encyclopedic information in the game manuals you want to include, you can rewrite the relevent sections in your own words and then cite the game manual as a source. Thanks, Marasmusine 08:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, I advise using the 'computer game screenshot fair-use' license tag on the images you are uploading, or they are going to get removed. You can still add {{game-screenshot}} to the ones you've already uploaded. Marasmusine 08:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry if I sounded a bit impolite. Why not come along to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games and say hello? Marasmusine 08:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Journey Title Screen.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Journey Title Screen.png. 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. BetacommandBot 08:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
