"Selected recordings" section on opera articles
This is naturally a subjective area, but there is no reason not to include older recordings that you know about. Viva-Verdi (talk) 23:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * When I started the "Selected Recordings" section in La traviata and many others, I just list down what I know, mostly involving Plácido Domingo because I have almost all of his CD/DVD/VHS recordings (including the big black records). I was and still hoping that others will add many more noted recordings later on - it applies to other opera articles. - Jay (talk) 04:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Jussi_Björling_studio.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jussi_Björling_studio.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 (talk) 13:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:600am.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:600am.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:10, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
