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

Thanks for uploading Image:Yukoisamu.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.

[edit] Kaaterskill Falls

Thanks for uploading the image. I changed the licensing to {{PD-old}}, since the picture is entirely a reproduction of the painting (meaning it would be a derivative work if copyright still applied), on which copyright has long since expired making it public domain (thus you can't attach GFDL to it as copyright would not otherwise apply).

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:PORTRAITterry3.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:PORTRAITterry3.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 {{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 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General points

Please make sure you post comments for other users on their talk page, and please sign such comments with four tildes <no wiki>David Underdown 15:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)</no wiki> (see WP:SIG). I have moved the remark you made on user:Philip Trueman to User talk:Philip Trueman to ensure that he sees it. David Underdown 15:28, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that, David.
Terrance (may I call you Terrance?), the issue is not whether what you have written is verifiable, but whether or not the article has been written or substantially modified by someone with a conflict of interest. Please read, and abide by, the relevant guideline WP:COI, especially WP:COI#Editors who may have a conflict of interest. I am sure the rationale behind that guideline is obvious - if people were completely free to modify articles about themselves, Wikipedia would lose credibility. WP:COI is not the only rule that applies; WP:BLP is also relevant - you would be justified in removing anything defamatory, for example.
There is nothing to prevent you from removing the tag yourself. But may I suggest that a good way to proceed would be for you to state briefly, on the article's discussion page, that in line with the guideline you will not make further edits to the article but will continue to monitor it and to participate as you see fit in the discussions on the talk page. If you do that, I'll be happy to remove the tag myself. Philip Trueman 15:57, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
