Image:TIME_Magazine_March._16,_1942.jpg
I have tagged Image:TIME_Magazine_March._16,_1942.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Deletion of Image:School Stuctures.png
Hi - I see that you deleted this file, and the comment states that a identical copy is available. Unfortunately, it strikes me that the wrong image was deleted. The one deleted was the long-standing image which included a copyright notice (full rights) as I created the original. In the last couple of days, another user, User:Nutty timmy, created a duplicate at which has no copyright statement, and appears to unused. The original item was in use at three-tier education until the above user made changes to that article - with limited success it seems. I have done nothing at the moment to tidy up these actions, but would appreciate your support/advice on the best approach. Should I
 * a) direct the existing link on three-tier education to the new [[Image:School Structurezs.png]] page and hope that the user provides a copyright tag
 * b) move the image from [[Image:School Structurezs.png]] to [[Image:School Structures.png]]  where the original image was?
 * c) seek the reinstatement of [[Image:School Structures.png]] in lieu of the deletion of the duplicate at [[Image:School Structurezs.png]] ?

Option c) would be my preferred option, but I've no idea how one would go about it. I also haven't been able to check whether any other articles pointed to the original image. Any advice? Tafkam (talk) 23:28, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Image:AES_Logo_2007.png
Hi, you issued a notice that my image is to be deleted because it is orphaned. It will be used for my first article, which I am currently playing around with in my limited spare time. I just wanted to learn how to upload/link/include an image. I assume it will be deleted automatically, or just go ahead and do it yourself. I will re-upload it or a similar image once my article is complete; I really just wanted to learn how to do it. Cheers, Aray013 (talk) 19:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Tuzla column.jpg
I doubt I can find a free image of tracks and APCs in flames. As far as i know, only local TV station took images of the attack. If this doesn't satisfy fair use policy, then delete the image. Eventually, we might obtain free images of battle scene, but.... --  Bojan  15:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Pizza Patron logo
Hi! I'm considering restoring the logo since giving it a fair use rationale is so easy. If/when I do it I will immediately add an FU. WhisperToMe (talk) 13:02, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BusinesswithIntegrity.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BusinesswithIntegrity.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 07:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your assistance with this picture, Melesse. I am impressed by your thoroughness and consideration every time I get to interact with you. I have updated the image description page and hope you will review the picture one more time to make sure I got it right. I'm new to posting pictures and know I have a lot to learn, but I can't help jumping right in because I feel pictures can add a lot of value to the Wikipedia community. Please let me know if I need to do anything else to fix this picture.


 * Additionally, I've encountered similar problems on another recent post. Would you mind taking a look at it and giving me your suggestions? Thanks! --Eustress (talk) 00:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Oscar_Takarazuka.jpg
I have tagged Image:Oscar_Takarazuka.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page.

New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:43, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:1 Giant Leap.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:1 Giant Leap.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

Fair use reduce
Wow, that was freakishly fast! Kudos! dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 09:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Melesse. My talkpage is filled with images of mine which you have reduced. Thank you! I explained the reason why many of my images are a bit large to Polly (when I size them down, they look really bad-- I have cheap image software, and my imaging skills aren't that great either), and I hope you too are not inconvenienced if I continue to do so. I'll tag them for resizing when I upload them now, though, to save at least one step in the process. Cheers, and happy editing! Dekkappai (talk) 17:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Shax.jpg}
Thank you for uploading Image:Shax.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our 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. Additionally, if you continue uploading bad images, you may be blocked from uploading. STBotI (talk) 07:53, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
