Fair use rationale for File:Jack MacDougall, NB Green Party leader.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Jack MacDougall, NB Green Party leader.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Leo 03:38, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

People's Alliance of New Brunswick[edit]

Sorry User:Shawnrouse! I just saw an article in the Times and Transcript that says they are about to file with Elections NB. Before that, I had checked the list of registered political parties on the Elections NB website, and the PANB was not listed. That was my bad! That being said, unless they win seats in September, they are too minor to put in the leader's infobox (with Graham, Alward, etc.) Keep up the good work! Bkissin (talk) 04:41, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If and when they get added to the list of Registered Political Parties, I think they can be added to the results table:

But not the infobox with the leaders. That is usually reserved for the parties with representation in the Legislative Assembly (See 28th Alberta general election, Canadian federal election, 2008). Sometimes, when it seems like a party might win a seat (i.e. the NDP or the Greens), people will add them to the leader's infobox, but that's usually a point of contention to some people, because they aren't currently represented in the Legislature. If, however, the PANB does win seats in September (Which is not unheard of, seeing as the Confederation of Regions party went from obscurity to official opposition in 1991) then we can definitely add them to the infobox, but for now, it's too early to tell. Bkissin (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you are coming from, and this is a common debate that happens on these sorts of articles. On the talk page for thenext federal election, there was a debate over whether to include the Green Party in the leader's infobox, seeing as they currently have no representation in the House of Commons. Each side accused the other of attempting to distort the facts, or trying to win votes for/against the Green Party by adding them.

As for the Wildrose Alliance, they are currently represented in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, despite not winning those seats in a general election.

Today, when I saw the same CBC report that you sent to me, I added the PANB to the election results, as they are now a registered political party with Elections NB.

Think about the situation this way: Look at the articles for the Nova Scotia general election, 2009 and the 2006 Canadian federal election. While the Green Party exists in Nova Scotia, it wasn't added to the infobox of the leaders, because they did not win any seats. In the 2006 election, there were plenty of minor parties that contested that election, but we can't fit every party, like the Animal Alliance Party or the Canadian Action Party in the leader's infobox. Do you see sort of where I'm coming from? Bkissin (talk) 01:18, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:David Alward - New Brunswick PC Party leader.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:David Alward - New Brunswick PC Party leader.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

Replaceable fair use File:David Alward, New Brunswick PC Party leader.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:David Alward, New Brunswick PC Party leader.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 03:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I placed the same tag on File:Shawn Graham, Premier of New Brunswick.jpg; all the information above applies. Cheers, -M.Nelson (talk) 16:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
