Image:Sanneh.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sanneh.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. Mosmof 14:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've also placed a replaceable fair use tag on the following images:


 * Image:Jp Dellacamera mug.jpg
 * Image:Cassar.jpg
 * Image:RMina.jpg
 * Image:Ruiz.jpg
 * Image:Rnunez.jpg
 * Image:Clarke.jpg
 * Image:Iroberts.jpg
 * Image:Pozniak c.jpg
 * Image:Yi a.jpg
 * Image:Cooper k.jpg
 * Image:Thompson a.jpg
 * Image:Kljestan s.jpg
 * Image:Brian Waltrip.jpg
 * The reason is that the subjects of the photographs are living people who make regular public appearance, so one can reasonably create a free image of them. Mosmof 14:31, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Please use the edit-sumary field!
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:


 * [[Image:Edit_Summary-2.png|Edit summary text box]]

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. ka  la  ha  11:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Thrashers logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Thrashers logo.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

The level of vandalism isn't really high enough to justify semi-protection, particularly as the number of recent productive IP edits to the article outnumber the vandals. Oldelpaso 19:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:FC Dallas logo.gif
Hello, Minfo. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:FC Dallas logo.gif) was found at the following location: User:Minfo. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 03:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:74_aztecs.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:74_aztecs.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. MER-C 10:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Ashgold_vs_liberty.jpg
I have tagged Image:Ashgold_vs_liberty.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. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. MER-C 10:29, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Steak
Thanks for the steak, well appreciated! (Never thought I'd say that to anyone..)

WP:CVU status
The Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to and/or  status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU and at the deletion debate. Thank you!

Flags
The problem with flags in football infoboxes is that in some browsers the infobox becomes distorted so that the team no longer aligns properly with the years and the goals. Thats why they are taken out. This particular issue isn't really covered in WP:FLAGS, but it does state that flags should not be overused. Regards, 23:57, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
