[edit] Album covers

Album covers are not allowed in discographies. Please read WP:ALBUMS#Discography for further information. I have therefore reverted your edit on The Cramps so the covers have been removed. Please do not reinstate the covers. -- JD554 08:26, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I won't bother with it anymore. I Wish I would have known before I did all of that work a couple of months ago. I must say that I read the link you provided, but, ironically, it appears to be in direct contradiction to the very reason stated in Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria #8 and Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images, which states "Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. Non-free media files are not used if they can be replaced by text that serves a similar function." Furthermore, All 10 of the non-free criteria specified at Wikipedia:Non-free_content_criteria are met with album covers; otherwise there would be zero album covers on all of Wikipedia.

Images of the album covers ARE significant, as it allows the user to quickly identify the actual recording, and if they are not, then I suggest that we start a clean-up campaign to remove them all. If text-only is good enough for a discography, then it should be good enough for an album page. Besides, I can't imagine a single record label taking exception with the use of low-res album art being published ANYWHERE, when it only serves to promote their wares. Be that as it is, I will refrain from posting any artwork that I do not own outright from this point forward.

I am taking this discussion over to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums for others to weigh-in on. SlimChance 02:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:FlameJobSmall.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. BetacommandBot 06:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nonfree image tagging

Please do not tag images as failing our non-free content criteria when they clearly do satisfy these rules. This just wastes everyone's time and energy. Thanks! (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:LuxInteriorBig.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. matt br 15:05, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
