[edit] Whitney Houston

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Whitney005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Whitney005.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Orane (talk) 01:01, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Whitney At BET Award.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Whitney At BET Award.jpg. 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) 05:04, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Houston In Waiting To Exhale.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Houston In Waiting To Exhale.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) 08:23, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use images of living people

These should not be used in the person's article when uncopyrighted images exist. Posting them is a waste of time, so please stop. Vikrant 13:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

But uncopyrighted images don't exist that display the point of the image.
Read the non-free content criteria. Your images show nothing more than what Houston looks like (in Houston's article). Put these images in albums or films articles. And stop edit warring. You will be blocked under WP:3RR. Vikrant 12:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Also check this tag (though its not relevant to the article, you can realise your misconceptions by reading it). Vikrant 12:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


Copyright undetermined This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

  • the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
  • where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it
  • on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Wikipedia. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Warning sign

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.

To the uploader: This tag should only be used for images of a person, product, or event that is known to have come from a press kit or similar source, for the purpose of reuse by the media. Please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the image and copyright information. Additionally, if the copyright holder has granted permission, please provide further details as to the terms.
Sorry I didn't realize. Its just I was using other similar artists as a template. I saw that the "Mariah Carey" article had music video images and scenes from movies so I just assumed it was allowed. Sorry for that. I won't put the images back in.

But another thing, its says under "Acceptable Use" that: Film and television screen shots: For critical commentary and discussion of the cinema and television

How come that doesn't apply to the images I had? The article talks about her certain songs and how they relate to her image and criticism (eg. 80s pop days she was marketed as "white" as possible despite being black, and as a result received flack for "selling out") Thanks Shoop85 (talk) 22:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)Shoop85

The "discussion of the cinema and television" that you stated is quite little and so is the reason to keep an image. By "discussion of the cinema and television" one can go about putting shots of any person causing total chaos. See some featured articles of living people. (I have no idea how Mariah Carey has been kept twice at FA but the article is quite pitiful. I put one free image there.) Vikrant 14:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Also Carey has lots of songs and needs to be checked per {{non-free}}. Vikrant 14:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Whitney_At_BET_Award.jpg

I have tagged Image:Whitney_At_BET_Award.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 23:37, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
