User:84user/Upload fair-use suggestions

To help uploaders of fair-use images and to help Wikipedia not lose possibly free images.

Inspired from Administrators' noticeboard.

Reasons?
 * Uploaders may be more likely to give more information, maybe saving work for image patrollers
 * location of original work (country) helps copyright determination
 * more information might help future readers discover whether copyright has in fact expired
 * for those cases found to be copyright expired cases, more information simplifies moving to Commons

Details
 * when uploader clicks "promotional photo" or "historically significant fair use image" on Upload:
 * display a well-filled-in example such as File:Pepper's.jpg
 * add a Preview button
 * make the Step 3 text match the template Template:Non-free use rationale, make the parameter order match, maybe also make the fields link to the template description? Suggested Step 3 text:
 * Write a clear description for the image you are uploading in the "edit summary" box. This must contain:
 * Description      = description of the copyrighted material; what it shows
 * Source           = Where you acquired the copyrighted material, or how you regenerated it; the full name of the author(s) or the copyright holder; the exact source of the image, such as the URL giving the location on the World Wide Web from where you downloaded it; location where the original work was created; year the original creator died
 * Article          = the name(s) of the article(s) in which this image is to be used;
 * Portion          = How much copyrighted material is used? The amount used must not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.
 * Low_resolution   = Is the material in a lower resolution that would be unlikely to impact the copyright owners ability to resell ...
 * Purpose          = How does the media contribute significantly to the article(s) in which it is used? The use of the media must not interfere with the media's original purpose.
 * Replaceability   = Explain why no free equivalent could reasonably be obtained or created to replace this media.
 * other_information = provide any other information that justifies the current use of this non-free media.
 * (unsure) Use fields Purpose, Replaceability and other_information to give an explanation (called a "fair use rationale") of why the use of this image in those specific articles is allowable without permission from the copyright holder.
 * add fields from Information such as Date and Author?
 * add fields from Information such as Date and Author?

Even more half-baked ideas -84user (talk) 11:24, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Link to possible placeholder free images that could be used if a particular non-free image was rejected.
 * Encourage uploaders and fair-use users to look at articles on wikipedia that do not accept fair-use (for example German) to see which images they use.
 * Suggest alternatives such as a sketch, or plaintext.
 * A fan-made costume of a copyrighted character might be more acceptable to the english wikipedia than fair-use (but see Image casebook for lack of consensus)
