License tagging for Image:Miriamdefensorsantiago.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Miriamdefensorsantiago.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 07:06, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Miriam_defensor_santiago.jpg listed for deletion
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Miriam_defensor_santiago.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission.  While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it, but use the license to license it under the GFDL, or  to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use  to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Media copyright questions. Thank you.


 * Also please note that Wikipedia doesn't allow pictures of living persons that it should be possible to obtain or create a free licensed photo of (wich seems to apply here) to be used under a "fair use claim" per Wikipedia's fair use criterea (points #1 and #8). So please try to obtain a free licensed photo of her (or wait for someone else to do so) rater than relying on unfree works. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 07:54, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * That was quick... Could you please clearify what kind of permission you got though. Did they spesificaly authorise the image to be released under the GFDL or did you simply get permission to "use the image". There is unfortunately a significant difference. See WP:COPYREQ, if you did get the "right" kind of permission please also forward the e-mail exchange to the adress spesified on that page. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 08:02, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Miriam Defensor Santiago
From your edit summaries to Miriam Defensor Santiago, it appears that you are in contact with the subject, and indeed, it seems that she may be directing you to make changes to the page. Please note that it is generally considered improper for the subject of an article to make changes to it. If Mrs. Santiago is directing you to make these changes on her behalf, for all but the simplest of factual changes, you are advised to bring the suggested changes to the talk page first. I encourage you to read Wikipedia's guidelines on how to handle conflicts of interest and on why autobiographies are discouraged. -Anþony (talk) 11:08, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Response Re: Miriam Defensor Santiago's lack of election watchers
You had written that she lost "reportedly because she could not afford election watchers to protect her vote". The implications in your statement are very different from merely stating that she couldn't afford election watchers. If you can provide multiple credible and unbiased sources that actually state that the reason Santiago lost to Estrada was due to her lack of election watchers, then you are free to return it. --Edward Sandstig 21:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Mdsportrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mdsportrait.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. Abu Badali 15:23, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
