[edit] Mac (Leopard) screenshot

Regarding Image:Mac OS X Leopard free.png. Thanks for finally replacing that old JPG screenshot with a PNG! I'm putting on a needed fair use template to that image, but I would like to ask you to take a slightly different screenshot, and just take these suggestions as you like. 1. Try to only have the finder in coverflow open, instead of multiple windows, because otherwise it looks cluttered. 2. It might also be nice to illustrate stacks in the screenshot. 3. If possible, it would probably be better (at least in my opinion) if you would remove some of your many personal applications, such as google earth, safari, terminal, whatever. 4. The grass background is another discussion. ;) And you might consider a different image name if you don't replace the original—it isn't really a "free" screenshot. —Althepal 00:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your valuable input; I will try to create several new screenshots over the next week to upload to Wikipedia Unixfanatic 01:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright. Just remember, these fair use images are only allowed on Wikipedia for use in articles, so all but one will eventually be deleted, unless you replace the image you upload. Althepal 01:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've replaced the image with something better; it illustrates the cover flow view of the Finder directly, without any hindrances. I'm also going to put it on the Mac OS X page, since they are using Leopard instead of Tiger now for their main image. It would be more appropriate to use a fair-use image.

Yes, I like this one better. There is another appearance of the old screenshot from Apple in the Mac OS X article, by the way. I'll take care of that. Althepal 17:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mac OS X Leopard free.png

Image:Mac OS X Leopard free.png is being used on this article. 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 this Wikipedia article 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.

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 insure 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 there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.
