License tagging for Image:Kimeternity.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kimeternity.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy

Re: X3
Yeah, I think the movie was a bunch of old movie re-cut segments. I read X-men during my teens, and I felt so disappointed. Jean Grey's converting was just like the Exorcist. The bald-headed all "de-mutanizer" kid was a bit of Drew Barrymore from The firestarter. And that bridge-levitating all-diffusing scene was just awful (no meaning, just visual effects). As a whole it gave nothing new. To the plot, to the series continuum, to the sense. But still I will watch X-men spinoffs in the near future.

Fair use rationale for Image:Tupac4.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tupac4.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles 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.

Eden Mor
All copyrighted images at wikipedia (like the one at Eden Mor) have to be Fair Use. If you direct yourself to WP:FU you'll find that we cannot use a copyrighted image merely to illustrate what someone looks like. Sucks, but that's the rule. Looks like you've gotten similar feedback from other users. --Beaker342 01:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know how to make it any clearer than to cut and paste from WP:FU. If a picture is copyrighted, which it is obvious that the Eden Mor picture is, we don't get to use it just because we like it. For example, look at the articles for other famous individuals, such as Lance Armstrong or George Clooney and you'll find that the featured pictures were taken by amateurs, as any old picture that could be gotten off the internet would be copyrighted.--Beaker342 22:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Some people find it easier to understand the concept of fair use from what is not fair use. Here are a few examples of uses that would almost certainly not be acceptable as fair use:


 * An article containing one or more unattributed pieces of text from a copyrighted source.
 * An image of a rose, cropped from an image of a record album jacket, used to illustrate an article on roses.
 * A detailed map, scanned from a copyrighted atlas, used in an article about the region depicted. The only context in which this might be fair use is if the map itself was a topic of a passage in the article: for example, a controversial map of a disputed territory might be fair use, if this controversy is discussed in the article.
 * A work of art, not so famous as to be iconic, whose theme happens to be the Spanish Civil War, to illustrate an article on the war. (However, because of its iconic status, it is presumably Fair Use where we have a small image of Picasso's Guernica in the article Bombing of Guernica.)
 * A photo from a press agency (e.g. Reuters, AP), not so famous as to be iconic, to illustrate an article on the subject of the photo. If photos are themselves newsworthy (e.g. a photo of equivalent notoriety as the Muhammad cartoons newspaper scan), low resolution versions of the photos may be fair use in related articles.
 * An image of a Barry Bonds baseball card, to illustrate the article on Barry Bonds. A sports card image is a legitimate fair use if it is used only to illustrate the article (or an article section) whose topic is the card itself; see the Billy Ripken article.
 * An image of a magazine cover, used only to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover. However, if that magazine issue itself is notable enough to be a topic within the article, then fair use may apply.
 * An image of a living person that merely shows what they look like.
 * Any image found on the Internet where the original source is unknown or not verifable.

Thanks for your note. The article is almost entirely about his death, with very little about his life or career. That's still a stub to me. The WP:BIO ratings aren't definitive; they're just the opinions of other editors. | Mr. Darcy talk 19:55, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Wippleman.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Wippleman.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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell (talk) (random) 21:17, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:VanessaWilliams.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:VanessaWilliams.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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.

 * Hello, Videmus Omnia. Here you go: I hope this is sufficient.  Don MEGĂ | 60645  13:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Your question
Yes. In specific, you're missing a detailed fair-use rationale. Boilerplate license tags are not a fair-use rationale. Specifically, the fair-use rationale must address both why the use of the image in each article you intend to use it in follows both United States fair-use law and our own requirements for use of nonfree images. It must be tailored to the use of the individual image in the individual article, boilerplates cannot and do not fulfill that requirement. Seraphimblade Talk to me 08:19, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bbd.jpg)

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Non-free use disputed for Image:RoxieRoker.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:RoxieRoker.gif. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image.  Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
