Governor pictures
State government photos are not public domain; that's the problem. I've been tagging them as replaceable because it seems like most politicians will release photos under whatever terms necessary to get them on a high-profile site like Wikipedia. Barring that, they make frequent public appearances and could be easily photographed then. &mdash; Chowbok  ☠  00:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Jimesch.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jimesch.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, 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. Calliopejen1 23:04, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:David-Hahn-Nebraska.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:David-Hahn-Nebraska.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Pat Venditte
I was actually aware, but I thought it was left that as long as the citations were left in, the transition to the different form of inline citations was fine. My apologies if I misunderstood. --fuzzy510 (talk) 17:01, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
