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

Thanks for uploading Image:FastAsYouCanJapan.jpg. 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. feydey 04:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fast as You Can

Firstly, when creating articles, please cite your sources for the information you include. Secondly, Wikipedia:Guide to layout recommends avoiding short sections, and two separate sections containing only one paragraph each would be better as one, particularly if the content was related (as the "Chart performance" and "Music video" sections are, because they are both related to the commercial release of the song). Thirdly, "Chart Performance" is incorrectly capitalised anyway; it should be "Chart performance" because "performance" isn't a proper noun. Thanks.

[edit] Simple Kind of Life

I wanted to let you know that I removed some the chart positions you added to the Simple Kind of Life article awhile ago since no reference was provided, and I can't seem to find one. Feel free to add it back in if you still have the source you used. 17Drew 21:42, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:ShakiraOralFixationTour.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:JCJC.jpg

Replaceable fair use

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

  1. Go to the media 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NAHID 16:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
