Fair use rationale for Image:Rafael alencar publicity shot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Rafael alencar publicity shot.jpg. The image description 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. Note that any fair use images 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.

Gus Mattox
Hey - what a great job on the Videography. Through experience, I've developed a "shorthand" version that you might find useful. The differences from what you did are as follows:

Your format:
 * Big Rig (Colt Studios/Buckshot Productions, 2006) Starring Brad Patton, Colby Taylor, Gus Mattox, Jason Crew, Brian Hansen, Kristian Alvarez, Blake Nolan, Tamas Eszterhazy, Eddy Mataro and Omer. Directed by John Rutherford.

My format:
 * Big Rig, 2006, Colt Studios/Buckshot Productions; John Rutherford, director, with Brad Patton, Colby Taylor, Jason Crew, Brian Hansen, Kristian Alvarez, Blake Nolan, Tamas Eszterhazy, Eddy Mataro, Omer

I eliminate most of the parentheses, leave out the name of the person the article is about (in this case, I took Gus Mattox out of the cast lists) and use "with" to list the remaining cast rather than "Starring". Instead of "Directed by John Rutherford.", I use "John Rutherford, director,".

I use commas to offset everything and try to eliminate the word "and"; I've found it's still quite readable and saves a lot of characters. In the videography for Mattox, my format vs. yours is more than 300 characters smaller. This doesn't seem like a big deal until you start wikilinking everything and the character count goes through the roof!

Obviously, this is just a suggestion; if it's easier for you to do it the way you did, by all means, continue. There's also a possibility that videographies will be reduced to title and year, and possibly studio, with no other cast or director information included. I'm not in favor of that, but the "abbreviated" version at least gets some info out there.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again for your hard work&mdash;as someone who's done a few of these, I know what a chore they are! I'll convert this one to the more compact version and wikilink it; hope that's not a problem. Have good days. &mdash; Chidom   talk   13:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Nova boys town vhs.jpg

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.

Replaceable fair use Image:Catalina_military_men_vhs.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Catalina_military_men_vhs.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 09:42, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Falcon huge2 dvd.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Falcon huge2 dvd.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for 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.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:06, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
