Fair use rationale for Image:Logo dolphindiscovery.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logo dolphindiscovery.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Human here to explain the bot
Hi,

The bot is telling you that you need to fill in a fair use rationle for the logo. You can't say that the photo is approved by the owner, that's nothing Wikiedia cares about. It's not a question of permission. It's a question of the GPL license that applies to all Wiikipedia content. A copyrighted image or trademark cannot by definition be GPL'd. The only way it can appear on the page is an exemption to the GPL content requirement, which is to say by virtue of a fair-use rationale.

This is trivial for logos. You merely need to say that it's a business logo appearing on a page about the business. Then the bot will stop deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tbyrnestl (talk • contribs) 03:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
