[edit] Unspecified source for Image:DominicJanes.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DominicJanes.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, 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 00:51, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:DominicJanes.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DominicJanes.jpg. I notice 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 {{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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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 01:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Could you please provide me with a link to where they released the image so I can look into it further and tell you what license would be appropriate? Thanks. --MECU≈talk 01:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay. But if it was in the location of the "gallery" like the other two images I saw under his profile, then you applied the right tag, using them under fair use/promotional. However, the argument against that is that it is possible (however remotely unlikely) that a free image with the same purpose could be taken and uploaded, so Wikipedia doesn't want this image. That what they mean by "fair use replaceable." So, if you want a picture of this kid, you'll have to find a free one. You can look at flickr.com, be sure to search under free, commercial use licenses. Good luck! (if you want to CSD this image that would be fine, just put {{db-author}} on the page.) --MECU≈talk 01:52, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Feedback promo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Feedback promo.jpg. 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. This is an automated message from BJBot 09:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:LogoClanVentrue.png. 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) 20:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Thank you for your help on those images in the Paola e Chiara article. I really appreciate it and will look them over so I remember to do it right in the future.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Grazie mille!

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LICD Book3.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LICD Book3.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. Project FMF (talk) 00:14, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Automail.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. BJBot (talk) 05:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Fullmetal Alchemist

Comparing them would be original research. The article could however be deleted by another editor since it does not pass notabiity. Information about the automail is edited in their respective users who are a few and is also explained in the plot.Tintor2 (talk) 16:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Third-party sources is what the article was lacking and the reason why it was redirected. If you have seen all the other Fullmetal Alchemist were redirected due to this reason. I dont think third-pary sources of automail would be easy to find and less conception info (I couldnt find anything about the creation of Edward Elric).
