Fair use rationale for Image:Gnmfestival.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gnmfestival.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. Rettetast 12:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Tangiwai2b.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Tangiwai2b.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Paul, I've tagged your image with gfdl-self because I'm fairly sure you meant it to be released under either that or as public domain when you uploaded it. Please change the tag to pd-self if that's more appropriate, or let me know if I've made a mistake.- gadfium 04:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

basically YES.. of course all images I have uploaded to wikipedia i have believed to be fit for the purpose, most of them are my original work of course. so thanks and i'm really glad you did that while i was away.. there are a couple of others i'm catchin up with now...   a certain two headed two faced taniwha that doesnt want to get acknowledged as existing in any real way.. maybe i should give up that quest...

Sorry you feel like that, but looking at the above, for an experienced user, you seem to be fairly cavalier about following any of the Wikipedia guidelines. Jimfbleak (talk) 06:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
