Fair use rationales
Hello, Accounttwentyfourseven, and welcome to Wikipedia. I appreciate your interest in improving the article on Linda Ronstadt, however there is an issue with using the image you placed in that article.

There are two different kinds of images hosted on Wikipedia: those which are compatibly licensed or public domain and are thus free for use in any article or page for any reason, and those which are under restrictive copyright but which we believe we may use under the fair use allowances of the copyright laws of the United States, as these laws govern us.

The Wikipedia community has devised a policy and set of guidelines for when such "non-free" content may be used and how. You can read this at WP:NFC. For an image to be used under "non-free content" policy, it must have a "fair use rationale" for each and every article in which it is used, explaining how its usage meets that policy and guideline. Imagines that are placed in articles for which they have no rationale must be removed.

For this reason, I have had to remove Image:Heart_Like_a_Wheel_Ronstadt.jpg from the article. There is no fair use rationale asserted for its usage in that article.

If you believe that you can defend using the cover in that article, after reading WP:NFC, please feel free to construct a fair use rationale for the image and do so. There's a guideline on how to do that here: Non-free use rationale guideline.

However, please don't put the image back without first adding the rationale as this does not accord with policy.

If you have any questions about this, please feel free to come by my talk page.

Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:18, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
